A journalist who uncovered crucial evidence about Alan Hall's case, which Crown Law then failed to act upon for four years, is calling for a Royal Commission of Inquiry into how the case was handled between 2018 and 2021.
In 2018, journalist Mike Wesley-Smith, who was investigating the death of Arthur Easton for a podcast, found important information which he passed onto Crown Law, as well as Police and the Ministry of Justice.
However Crown Law did not act on that information, and Alan Hall spent an additional four years behind bars before the Supreme Court overturned the conviction.
Today, an independent report has cleared Crown Law of any wrongdoing in how it handled that information.
Charlotte Cook speaks with Mike Wesley-Smith about the findings of that report.
