“We have all been really busy since the CCRC
closing my case and a lot of new evidence has come to light. Forensic work
continues and the results are really positive further supporting my innocence. The
CCRC is frequently used as the gatekeeper of cases, some of which remain with
them for up to ten years, in my case it took 8 years to make a decision. The
CCRC did not fund any work or instruct any forensic work in my defence. One
does wonder exactly what the CCRC did with my case for such a long period
considering they claim that they investigate miscarriages of justice.
Simon McKay is currently working on a
submission to the high court regarding a judicial review of the CCRC’s
decision, this will be a detailed and comprehensive legal document fleshing out
the summary grounds from the letter of intent (see the summary points extracted
below). I understand the material will be ready inside a few weeks.
I’ve been overwhelmed with letters and emails
from supporters including many from the USA, Canada and Europe further to
recent documentaries on my case being shown around the globe. There is another
documentary due out in the USA next year and it will later be shown in Europe.
I’ve also received correspondence from a
number of biographers and crime historian’s who wish to take up the case for my
innocence and we are currently co-operating with them to provide the
documentary evidence for publication.
I have almost completed the cataloguing and
referencing of evidence and assessment of the materials continues. The possibility of constructing a database
for all the case files is also being considered, time and cost has to be taken
into account at this stage but at least the documents are now completely
electronic and searchable, contributing to one of the largest legal case
document management systems ever built in the UK. Our team is ever expanding as
is our affiliate programme.
I remain positive now that the case is out of
the hands of the CCRC, it is up to a judge to decide if the case should go to
an appeal court based on the new evidence. With the wealth of materials in both
documents and in contributions from forensic scientists there is more than
ample material for a new submission to the CCRC should it be required. I will
never stop fighting to prove my innocence and I will be a free man again.”
