Gordon v Scottish Criminal Cases Review Commission [2017] UKSC 20

Gordon was convicted of rape and sentenced to five years but there were a couple of problems with the way that the investigation was carried out. He was not allowed access to legal counsel either before or during the police interview and the semen sample retrieved was not subject to DNA analysis. The Scottish Criminal Case Review Commission refused to take a second look at the conviction and so in this case Gordon brought a judicial review to challenge this decision. Music from bensound.com
