We are committed to the fight to challenge wrongful convictions and this blog is about our concerns over miscarriages of justice . We also believe that historical abuse cases are an area ripe for such miscarriages and write extensively on this issue aswell as defend many such cases . We have for some years been connected to concerns over the failure to compensate the wrongfully convicted .
What all these things have in common is that they demonstrate an imbalance in how we treat those wrongfully accused or convicted , something which requires urgent attention .
