I applied to the Criminal Cases Review Commission.

They didn't investigate and they didn't believe me.

I have been innocent all along.

One or two days every couple of months?

Well, when I heard that, my jaw hit the floor.

It was like watching a slow car crash.

It was terrible.

And it wasn't funny.

It was awful.

Completely failing to read the room.

scarred the public's, or should we say the political and legal world's, view of the CCRC and its senior management.

Well, to me the CCRC is an essential component of the British justice system.

It is the last resort for many people.

Of course there are lots of people in prison who think, I'm innocent, I didn't do it.

when they jolly well did.

But there will be a hard cohort of wrongly convicted people in prison who need a CCRC to be able to assist them and to enable us as a civilized nation to be able to maintain a proper, humane criminal justice system.

Well, I don't imagine they're encouraged by the current state of affairs.

And because we're culture critics, we just love to go back to the text.

Oh, within a few days of having got the results from the blood and the other silencers.
