When crimes are committed, very few members of the public have any sympathy for those who are sent to prison for any period of time, but certain crimes provoke a bigger outcry than others.

2 Casualties of Justice By Bob Woffinden

 The Nicholas Cases: Casualties of Justice is a 2016 non-fiction book by investigative journalist Bob Woffinden. It examines ten distinct legal cases to expose systemic failings, flaws, and wrongful convictions within the United Kingdom’s criminal justice and appeals systems.

A shaming, revelatory exposé… Bob Woffinden has been investigating miscarriages of justice for more than thirty years and knows that, if anything, the situation has become worse… Even when describing the most outrageous injustice, his prose is clear and calm. This book deserves the widest possible readership. –David Rose, Mail on Sunday.

The intimate film is a product of years of work by directors Fran Robertson and Jemma Gander of Two Step Films, who closely followed developments in Andy’s battle for justice as well as his struggle to rebuild his life after so many years wrongly imprisoned.
