The solicitor who represented Mr Trew and Mr Griffiths said that if police had reviewed Ridgewell’s cases when his #corruption emerged in 1973, “these innocent men’s lives would have been very different”.

A corrupt racist cop puts #innocent people in #jail and a year later he gets busted. But it takes the #court 50 years to notice this? #Justicia is not only #blind but slower than a snail 🐌 😱
