Innocence UK has an article about miscarriage of justice written by Sarfraz Manzoor published in The Observer Newspaper today. This article provides an interesting insight into the issue of miscarriage of justice and the work of Innocence UK.

People think that miscarriages are a thing of the past, but the sad truth is that they're not."

The Innocence Project UK has material on HumanRightsTV in its own channel and in the LawWorks channel. The story of Paul Blackburn, whilst not actually an Innocence UK case, highlights many of the issues in miscarriage of justice from a very personal position.
