The Supreme Court has acquitted a man who spent 22 years in wrongful imprisonment. The prolonged miscarriage of justice originated from a trial court's flawed analysis of evidence.
The situation was further aggravated when the High Court refused to entertain the man's delayed appeal. In its ruling, the Supreme Court highlighted the vulnerability of marginalized individuals within the legal system.
