Innocent Man's 17-Year Nightmare: Police Misconduct Exposed

0:00On April 18th, a man named Paul Quinn just got convicted for a brutal rape back in July 19th, 2003, and suffered. He was bound guilty after a six-week trial, ending a nightmare for Andrew Malkinson, who spent 17 years in prison for the same crime before his. Conviction got overturned last year. The mix-up started when Malkinson got picked out in a lineup, even though the victim had doubts right away. Cops ignored that and pushed forward. Then, DNA from the victim's vest top, tested years later, didn't match him at all. But it took until 2022 for tech advances to link. It a billion to one to Quinn. Malkinson's speaking out now, saying the police overlooked clear evidence of his innocence and fought his appeals. His mom calls it outrageous incompetence that led a predator walk free for decades, leaving her son damaged in every way. The victim must be reeling too, thinking justice was served 20 years ago. Right now, five ex-offices and one current from greater Manchester police face probes by the police watchdog.
