for andrew malkinson this has been a terrifying, seemingly endless, ordeal.s his good name back, but this 57—year—old man has neithera home, norajob and his case raises serious questions about institutional failings and how long it can take the wrongly convicted to clear their names. i'll be speaking to him in a moment but first here's sima. 17 years inside for a crime he did not commit. but today andy malkinson's conviction for rape was quashed after two decades of protesting his innocence. papers disclosed now show the originaljury was misled about the honesty of a key witness and that the dna of another man had been found on the victim's clothing. the crime happened in july 2003 in salford. in august of the same year, andy malkinson was arrested and then later charged. the following year, a jury decided he was guilty of the crime. he was 37 and was sentenced to life in jail. but so many things didn't fit when mr malkinson was wrongly convicted. he was three inches taller than the attacker, had a chest of hair when the victim said the attacker had none, and

andrew malkinson, says he could be charged for his board and lodging in prison, despite having his conviction fight tooth and nail after you�*ve already fought tooth and nail to clear your name. it�*s a whole new battle. they don�*t like paying compensation, and there�*s resistance every step of the way. so what do you live on at the moment, if i ask you that? i�*m living on benefits. and may ijust also say, justin, i feel very strongly about this. somehow the prison service has, i guess, lobbied the government in the early 2000s, such that the result is even if you fight tooth and nail and gain compensation, you then have... it is just so...it�*s kind of sick. you have to pay the prison service, a large chunk of that. if you win compensation for so—called board and lodging, which is so abhorrent to me, i�*m sickened by it. with more on this with our political correspondent damian grammaticas. damien, you�*ve been following this story. there has been reaction from westminster as we were talking about earlier on. yes westminster as we were talking about earlier on. , w , ~ westminster as we we
