Woman's Hour
- Jenny Murray discusses the impact of miscarriages of justice on
the victims and their families. Every year 25 people are released from
prison after their case is reviewed and it is found they have been
wrongfully convicted. When a guilty prisoner is released there is
preparation for their release, and they are given help and guidance to
adjust to their new life outside. So far there is no such help for the
innocent, who also face being billed by the Home Office for their time
spent in prison. This extract includes comments by Erkin's wife Melanie
Guney. (Broadcast 2 August 2004).
File
on Four - This programme discusses the use of Public Interest Immunity (PII) on
the criminal justice system. PII is otherwise referred to as "official
gagging orders" and have become far more common in recent years. This extract includes reference to Erkin Guney's
case where PII was used to suppress "sensitive"
evidence. There are additional comments by Erkin's lawyer
Tim Greene and the Attorney General Lord Goldsmith. No-one from the
Metropolitan Police was willing to be interviewed. (Broadcast 2 December
2003).
