Andrew Malkinson, who endured 17 years in prison for a wrongful rape conviction, is facing delays in receiving compensation three years after his release. His attorney, Emily Bolton, criticized the Ministry of Justice for the slow process, describing Malkinson’s situation as frustrating amidst requirements for extensive documentation to qualify for benefits. Despite the Court of Appeal overturning his conviction in July 2022, Malkinson has yet to receive an interim payment—his lawyer asserts the system for compensating wrongfully convicted individuals is flawed and in need of reform.
