💨 Abstract

Peter Sullivan, 68, was released from prison after 38 years when new DNA evidence exonerated him of the 1986 murder of Diane Sindall. The Court of Appeal quashed his conviction, marking the longest miscarriage of justice in British history. Sullivan had maintained his innocence, and concerns over his legal representation and unreliable evidence like a retracted confession and bitten marks evidence were raised.
