Man jailed for 1986 murder has conviction quashed

[SerendipityJane]

Let's hope any compensation he gets isn't swallowed up by his charges for board and lodging.

It's still disingenuous (to the point of offensiveness) to compare a case where there was neither actus nor mens rea with a case where there has never been any question of the actus rea.

That is by your own explanation.

I wonder if typing even more words can change that fact ? Are we going to try ?

I did read he'll have to wait 2 years for the (up to) £1,000,000 he could possibly be awared. Presumably that isn't a given.

As noted upthread, being banged up despite being innocent doesn't always require compensation

Nope she's not. Look up Sam Hallam who was wrongly convicted of murder and has been denied any compensation.
