This report puts extreme pressure on the CCRC and their handling of JB's latest submission
This article provides even more details of the CCRC's failures.https://www.theguardian.com/law/article/2024/jul/18/how-did-the-ccrc-handle-andrew-malkinson-three-appeal-applications
Very strong words from the new Justice Secretary. I'm beginning to appreciate Labour's victory. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c2q0gdd9v04o?fbclid=IwZXh0bgNhZW0CMTEAAR2ZUJfoBqVqTeoFG19oTQlNR0gIV7D1SV9r-te1wrQeTDd6vLkm-yS8A8g_aem_OneGqzT1FhPIGHEFka7Wlw
Following the Post Office scandal they are also planning a new bill requiring a 'Duty of Candour' rule for all public employees. They will be legally required to tell the truth.The proposed Public Authority (Accountability) Bill ("the Bill") will enable victims to rely upon a statutory duty of candour and frankness on the part of public authorities and it could create an offence if the duty is breached.
Here's a suitable snippet.The report also details a reluctance to go back to the original police file, instead accepting the prosecution file presented in court. Henley said: “From what I have seen in this case there seems more of a reluctance to obtain the police file than the files from [the prosecution and other bodies]. The police file will often contain the most important material, particularly if there have been disclosure failings.”
I wonder what BR's view is on these developments.
If Malkinson publicly throws his weight behind JB then it might add some pressure. So far the only thing I've seen is that Malkinson's supporters are supportive towards JB's campaign

A witness who identified Andrew Malkinson as the alleged assailant responsible for raping a woman stands ‘squarely’ behind her original statement, a trial has heard.
