Chair Tana Adkin KC message “We recommend a full read of the Independent Review by our former chair of the
CBA, Chris Henley KC of the @ccrcupdate handling of the #AndrewMalkinson case”
These are CHKC’s final remarks “There needs to be a culture within our Criminal Justice System where it is
acknowledged that mistakes can be made and in our various roles when making decisions we are all alive to this potential risk.
If we are vigilant in this way it will make miscarriages of justice less likely to happen. When mistakes are made
the victims of miscarriages need a robust, appropriately resourced, bold, mission driven organisation fearlessly asking
the right questions and analyzing new evidence and submissions rigorously and above all correctly identifying the cases that should be referred. This is what the CCRC must always aspire to be.”
Chair Tana Adkin KC adds “We must all recognise that within a Criminal Justice System under-resourced and under
pressure we will from time to time make mistakes, none of us are perfect. We rely on the court, appeal courts and organisations like the CCRC
as vital safety nets to ensure that even if we make a mistake the system will prevent a miscarriage of justice.”
The concluding remarks are from paragraph 132 on page 101 onwards and the nine recommendations can be found at page 109 to 114.
It is noteworthy that Chris Henley KC’s ninth recommendation was that the CCRC be provided with more resources by Government.”
