💨 Abstract

Brian Buckle, 53, wrongfully convicted of child sex abuse, served five years in prison and spent £500,000 to prove his innocence. Despite his retrial resulting in all charges being dropped, he was denied compensation. The Ministry of Justice requires him to prove his innocence "beyond reasonable doubt." Buckle criticizes the system as "unfair and draconian," having lost a job and missed family milestones, and now suffers from PTSD.
