Andy Malkinson, innocent of rape, spent 17 years in prison. Rape victim who picked him out in a video indentity parade later had doubts he was the man who had attacked her after seeing him in court, police officers told her she had “got the right man” and it was just “trial nerves”.

Our thanks to D for this. Note how different Andy Malkinson is from Paul Quinn, on trial due to DNA evidence.

The conviction of Condy Dabney for the murder of a girl later found alive

Kate and Anna McGarrigle were a duo of Canadian folk rock and country folk singer-songwriters (and sisters) from Quebec, who performed together until Kate’s death in 2010. Anna wrote the beautiful song Goin’ Back to Harlan, later recorded by Emmylou Harris.

The Harlan in question is in Kentucky. The Wikipedia entry on Harlan shows a very impressive courthouse built between 1918-22. I assume it was in this very building in 1924 that (despite so much evidence to the contrary) a man, Condy Dabney, was convicted and sentenced to hard labour for life for the murder of a 14-year-old girl, Mary Vickery, who was later found alive. The story is related here.

Dabney was pardoned and released a year later. The only testimony against him came from one Marie Jackson, who had no connection with Vickery and had apparently fabricated the entire story to claim a $500 reward offered by Vickery’s father.

As war rages in Iran, woke MoD asks troops: ‘Guys, do you want to wear make-up and nail polish?’

Our thanks to Nigel for this. He writes:

“Meanwhile in “woke” Britain. I have to say I’m sympathetic to this idea. It is after all “gender equal”. And reflects the slide in standards in all ways and places to make occupations female friendly. The most interesting thing is that no one wants to suggest that the other way of making the standards equal and fair is to apply the standards for men to women! Of course all of this reflects the reality that in fact women are invited in not as equals, but to create an appearance. Surely there is every reason for all soldiers to be neat tidy and without adornments that get in the way of their often arduous and difficult job. The idiocy was in not applying these requirements for some solders just because they’re female. It is a reasonable question, “if these standards are not essential to the job, as they can’t be if not applied to every recruit, then is there is no need for them?” and if they are necessary why not applied to females? Direct discrimination. Someone would have a good case under the Equality Act. Our national defence in safe hands?”
