Annalisa Moscardini, solicitor, TBI Scanlans, Sunderland. Represented Justin Plummer, whose murder conviction was quashed by the Court of Appeal after he spent 28 years in prison. We had to involve the Criminal Cases Review Commission, who were so helpful in this case, but are also woefully underfunded. ‘I’d like to tell a better story, but I decided to be a lawyer when I was 12 years old and watching an episode of Ally McBeal. [Plummer’s original conviction was quashed but he was retried and convicted.]
