The Cardiff University Innocence Project was founded in 2006. Over 90 Cardiff University students and other professionals try to help wrongly convicted people overturn their convictions. It is the only university innocence project in the country to have successfully helped someone overturn their conviction; Dwaine George - whereby the students, staff and experts worked for over nine years to help overturn his wrongful conviction for murder; and Gareth Jones - after a six year investigation his conviction for a serious sexual offence was overturned.
In this episode, the project leaders Dr Dennis Eady and Dr Holly Greenwood talk about the work that the project does, the success stories, how to manage the students expectations and the hurdles they face in helping a victim of a miscarriage of justice.
