I am but a simple person. Someone please explain why we need a law to exonerate innocent people?
Prime Minister Rishi Sunak says the government will bring in a new law to “swiftly exonerate and compensate victims” of the Post Office scandal Under the plans, victims will be able to sign a form to say they are innocent in order to have their convictions overturned and claim compensation
Probably because it’s been a known problem and the bureaucracy wasn’t getting it done otherwise.
And Sunak needs the good press of an easy decision.
But I’m American and watching from a distance.
