  Benjamin was a researcher for the Cardiff Innocent project, his job was to research and review the various case files, in order to find evidence which suggests the client has suffered a miscarriage of justice. Once this was done he would write a report summarising all the key evidence and then send this to the Criminal Complaints Review Commission, who may order a new trial. He was chosen to give a presentation on miscarriage of justice to students who were interested in applying to the scheme next year. For his research for this project he traveled to Southampton University to attend a talk by Nick Yarris, who spent twenty one years on death row after being wrongly accused of murder. Highlights include forcing the re-trial and subsequent clearing of Dwain George's name. Show less
