In Great Britain, a man was wrongly in prison for 38 years. He was convicted of killing a young woman in the 1980s. Now an appellant has increased the decision because DNA samples do not agree.
The case had taken place in the summer of 1986. At that time a young waitress was found dead in Liverpool, English. The Brit was arrested as a suspect and convicted of murder in November 1987.
Only now did a committee discover that DNA samples of the crime scene do not fit into the man’s rehearsals. That is why the conviction is not certain, a judge said. The 68-year-old, who had previously tried to lift the conviction, was released. “Today’s justice was enough (…),” said British’s lawyer.
Want to “make the best of that”
She also read a statement from her client. “I’m not angry, I’m not bitter,” said it. He just wanted to return to his loved ones and his family, “to make the best of what my existence remains in this world.
It is unclear who the then 21-year-old woman killed. “We will do everything we can to find the one who belongs to the DNA that was found on the spot,” said a researcher. The thoughts are with the family and friends, as well as friends of the murdered woman.
