A Parliamentary review of the 2005 Change to the Double Jeopardy Law.

Petition Details

We believe the operation of the change in the the DJ law is not working as Parliament intended. We cite the example of Matthew Hamlen, a 37 year old electrician, and a married man with a son, currently in the custody of HMPS in the UK having been sentenced to 30 years imprisonment in February 2016.

Additional Information

Matthew has strenuously and consistently denied any involvement both before and during his original trial in 2011/2012 , at which he was unanimously acquitted by the jury, and his later ‘double jeopardy’ trial in January and Feb 2016.
