The fight for justice: a new chapter
After 45 long years, Ray Gilbert's unwavering pursuit of justice has reached a pivotal moment. His case has been formally accepted by the Criminal Cases Review Commission (CCRC), who are now dedicating significant resources, at least three days per week, to meticulously review the evidence. This crucial development marks a beacon of hope in the ongoing battle to clear his name.
Unlocking the truth: the power of DNA
Central to our campaign is the urgent need for comprehensive DNA testing. Decades of advancements in forensic science mean that evidence previously deemed inconclusive could now hold the key to uncovering the truth. We are pushing for all relevant biological samples to be re-examined, believing this crucial step will provide undeniable clarity and expose the true circumstances of the case.
Questioning the past: revisiting witness statements
The foundation of any legal case rests on the integrity of witness statements. In Ray Gilbert's case, after over four decades, it is imperative that these historical accounts are thoroughly scrutinised. Our campaign actively seeks to have these statements re-evaluated, looking for inconsistencies or new perspectives that could reveal the truth and correct past injustices.
