Court of Appeal overturned Oliver Campbell's conviction for the murder of off-licence owner Baldev Hoondle .

Campbell was a then 19-year-old at the time of his arrest after having suffered a severe brain injury as an infant.

He was sentenced to life despite his co-accused admitting the robbery and providing a written account identifying the killer and confirming that Campbell had nothing to do with the murder.

The case has been described as one of the most outrageous miscarriages of justice in recent times.

Campbell ’s legal team took the unusual step of publishing the original statement of reasons’ rejecting the application so people could make their own minds up about the merits of the case.

At the time, Maddocks told the JG : 'The injustice was so obvious that we felt we had to do something to fight back on Oliver 's behalf'.
