Miscarriage of Justice: Serial Rapist Caught After 17 Years

0:00On April 17, after 17 long years behind bars, Andrew Malkinson is finally cleared in one of Britain's worst miscarriages of justice. Paul Quinn, 52, was convicted Friday for the brutal 2003 rape of a young mother and suffered. DNA from saliva on her vest top matched Quinn a billion to one, leading to his arrest nearly two decades later. Quinn, a serial sex offender since age 12, stalked the woman walking home early July 19th, dragged her off the street, beat her senseless, and raped her twice. Malkinson, a security guard, got wrongly fingered in an identity parade despite no DNA link and his appeals failed until advanced testing cracked the case in 2022. Malkinson called himself a handy patty for rush cops chasing quick wins, robbing him of 17 years. The victim said justice came too late, wrecking two lives forever, but she's glad her attacker faces the music. Greater Manchester police's assistant chief apologized unreservantly to both, calling Quinn dangerous.

1:04A review exposed police blunders that could have freed Malkinson a decade sooner, sparking a public inquiry, and probes into six officers by the police. Watchdog, even the criminal cases review board's top brass quit over the mess. Quinn faces sentencing June 5th, with cops eyeing him for other unsolved attacks, just as rolling slow but steady now.
