andrew malkinson has been talking to our correspondentjane mccubbin. released from prison. the first thing he has to do was walk on the beach with his mum. he'd just served 17 years for a crime he didn't commit. he could have been out in six if he'd made a false confession, something he was never willing to do. cheering it would take another three years before judges finally agreed he was innocent. you leave the court a free man. dreadful, awful miscarriage ofjustice. it's right that the police apologise. but today, instead of enjoying his freedom, he says he is broke and living in a tent on a spanish campsite. what does life look like right now? well, er, the compensation will take, who knows how long? probably — i heard probably two years. i have nojob, i'm on benefits. you're living in a tent? i'm living in a tent. i'm basically homeless. yeah, that's true. i'm waiting forthem to do the right thing. i'm waiting for the authorities. they have the power to do the right thing, and they have the power to move instantly. they choose to take their time. af
