The SCCRC will review the application, and decide whether the case should be referred back to the court of appeal. It's pretty much a waiting game now, although there will be periodic updates.
We were very lucky to have some of the finest legal assistance available, so the legal aspects of the review are comprehensively outlined in the application, as well as the - I suppose you would call them "common sense" aspects to the case.
For example, it's one thing to say the police investigation was dreadful, and list all of the evidence to support that - the Commission can decide whether such a poor investigation may have caused a Miscarriage of Justice and refer the case back to the appeal court on that basis. But how much more powerful to have that backed up with a list of legal examples of exactly how such an investigation may have impacted on the case - from breaches of human rights, to flawed processes which are accountable in law, and so on.
It's been a long time getting to this stage - we can only hope it's enough.
