Judges in the England and Wales Court of Appeal (which also has jurisdiction in Northern Ireland cases) have overturned the 30 year old convictions of two men, convicted as teenagers, of terrorism offences. One of the men, Stephen McCaul died in 1995, the other, Mr McDonald (pictured), is now seeking compensation.

One had the mental age of a seven year old. Read the news here….
