Andrew Malkinson has sharply criticised the decision to deduct up to £10,000 in legal costs from his compensation, following 17 years spent wrongly imprisoned for a rape he did not commit.
Mr Malkinson, whose case is considered one of the most severe miscarriages of justice in British criminal history, implored ministers to abandon their "penny-pinching" approach. He was jailed in 2004, with his conviction finally quashed in 2023 after consistently protesting his innocence.
