Wrongly jailed men fail to get higher compensation

Wrongly jailed men fail to get higher compensation

Two victims of high-profile "miscarriages of justice" cases lost a legal battle for increased compensation awards today.

Darren Hall was wrongly imprisoned for killing Cardiff newsagent Philip Saunders, and Stephen Miller wrongly served time for the brutal murder of prostitute Lynette White.

Mr Hall, 39, from Newport, Gwent, and Mr Miller, from Clapham North, south London, and their co-defendants, had their convictions quashed by the Court of Appeal after spending years behind bars.

Total compensation awards in both cases are in excess of £400,000.

Sir Ian Blair has just been awarded a £400,000 golden handshake. I would have thought 11 years of false imprisonment is worth more than what the former top cop is being paid out.
