Andrew Malkinson, who served 17 years in prison for a rape conviction he says was a miscarriage of justice, says he has been “insulted” by developments surrounding the case. Both outlets report that Paul Quinn, described as the person responsible for the offence, is jailed following recent proceedings. Malkinson’s position is that Quinn is the “real rapist” and that he should not have spent 17 years in custody. The Evening Standard reports that Malkinson believes he was left “to rot” in prison by the person now identified as the true offender. The report also says Quinn could be eligible for release in about 14 years, which would be after an additional period of custody from the point of conviction or sentencing referenced in the coverage.
The information presented focuses on the timeline of Malkinson’s long sentence and the subsequent imprisonment of Quinn, alongside Malkinson’s criticism of the outcome. The two sources provided do not include detailed legal reasoning, dates of sentencing, or the specific legal mechanism governing any possible release timeline.
