The Criminal Cases Review Commission was established a year ago to investigate claims of wrongful conviction. But, as Mike White discovers, it has received nearly double the number of cases it expected, and is struggling to keep up with demand.
Based on overseas examples, the CCRC estimated it would receive about 125 applications a year from people saying they were wrongfully convicted, and had exhausted all their appeals in the courts.
