Man who spent 17 years in jail for rape he denies will have his case heard by Court of Appeal today
A man who spent 17 years behind bars for a rape he says he did not commit will today find out if the Court of Appeal will clear his name. Andy Malkinson, 57, has always denied carrying out the attack on a woman by the M61 motorway in Little Hulton, Salford in July 2003.
In a statement after the CPS and GMP announced their decision, Mr Malkinson said: "I've suffered incalculably for the last 20 years as a result of my wrongful conviction, and I continue to suffer each day. I have always known I am innocent. While his main ground of appeal is the fresh DNA evidence, his lawyers told the court at a preliminary hearing in May that there were photographs of the victim's hands, corroborating her evidence that she scratched her attacker and broke a nail, which were not disclosed at the time of Mr Malkinson's trial.
