Bishop of Stepney wants case review over ‘miscarriage of justice’

“Jason Moore, like Andrew Malkinson, was convicted solely on eyewitness evidence, with no forensics ever linking him to his supposed crime,” Bishop Grenfell added.

“He was picked from a line-up by a single eyewitness, seven years after the crime.”

The bishop explained the CCRC rejected Moore’s case in 2021, “refusing at first to even to investigate it”.

This was “based on a fundamental misunderstanding of the most basic facts”, she said.

“In its rejection letter, the CCRC falsely asserted that two eyewitnesses had implicated Jason as Robert Darby’s stabber.

“In fact, it was only one eyewitness, with significant credibility problems,” she said.
