‘Mrs P’ lost her job as a teacher and was reduced to living on a benefit in a garage with no hot water. EDITORIAL: Mrs P did not get a fair hearing from the justice system. In other words, the Government reserves to itself the discretion to do Mrs P or any other wrongfully convicted person the “favour” of redressing a state-sanctioned injustice. Mrs P is already a victim of domestic abuse. She shouldn’t also be victimised by a justice system that isn’t flexible enough when it comes to recognising victims of its own mistakes.
