Oliver Campbell, who has learning difficulties, was forced into a false confession by the police without a solicitor or appropriate adult present, spent decades in prison and since then campaigning to clear his name. The news that Oliver, convicted of a murder he did not commit in 1991, has had his conviction quashed is an important step towards him realising justice.
