Miscarriages of justice might not have been in the news quite so much just recently, but a new film on that subject is out this week: Conviction, starring Hilary Swank and Sam Rockwell. It’s about an innocent American man called Kenny Waters who is sent to prison for a murder he did not commit and it will, no doubt, raise concerns not just about the American legal system and lawyers, but legal systems everywhere. Heaven knows in this country we have nothing to be proud of on this subject.
