>A victim of a miscarriage of justice in Wales and England now must prove they are innocent ‘beyond reasonable doubt’.
>A ‘not guilty’ ruling by a jury no longer qualifies as demonstrating the victim’s innocence.
>The Conservative-Lib Dem coalition government at the time hoped the change would decrease the risk of compensation being awarded to those who had convictions overturned on a technicality, but could still be guilty.
Insane. If you are not guilty, you are innocent.
Semantics of not guilty vs innocent aside, if you have been wrongly convicted and jailed, you deserve compensation for it.
Reputational damage, being deprived x amount of years of freedom, etc. To take that away from a person because the conviction was not safe (regardless of whether or not they did it), then to say “tough shit” is wrong.
