Tomorrow morning Andrew Malkinson is guest editing @BBCr4today. Anyone fortunate enough to have heard his interview following his appeal will know he's a man of uncommon compassion with a quiet but unswerving resolve to expose what happened to him and why. Don't miss it.

Joanna Hardy-Susskind @Joanna__Hardy was invited by the “Cross Examination” Podcast @CrossExaminePod to discuss miscarriages of criminal justice alongside barristers @MaxJLHardy (@9BRChambers) and host Tom Cross (@11KBW)
The episode looked at:
-what can go wrong, and has gone wrong with the criminal trial process
-the flaws in the systems designed to provide redress for those failings
-consideration of the case of Andy Malkinson, who spent 17 years in prison for a rape conviction held to be unsafe on appeal, whether lessons from his case should lead to change, and if so what that change should be
-spoke to James Burley, the investigator in the Malkinson case whose crucial work led to Malkinson’s exoneration. Burley identifies what he believes are serious failings with the criminal appeal system
