Death of Sean Hodgson

Yet another example of the damage a wrongful conviction has on the individual. I have said this before but it is a fact that the years in jail and the struggle to prove ones innocence does take its' toll and for Sean, his time of freedom has been far too short.

** Miscarriage of justice man dies **
A man wrongfully jailed for 27 years for a murder he did not commit dies three years after being released from prison.

I lit a candle and said a prayer for Sean after Mass at my church yesterday. No more pain for him now.

"His 27 years in jail made him one of the longest-serving victims of a known miscarriage of justice in English legal history." When is all this going to come to an end?
