In their ruling, Lord Justice Holroyde, alongside Mr Justice Bourne and Mrs Justice Stacey, determined that Oliver Campbell's conviction was "unsafe" due to compelling new evidence. They emphasized that a jury, informed of this fresh evidence, would reassess the reliability of Campbell's confessions in a significant way, leading them to conclude that the evidence could have reasonably influenced the jury's decision to convict.
The judges expressed that they accept the fresh evidence presents a distinct narrative, indicating the possibility of a different outcome if the trial were to be revisited. They highlighted that the new information changes the context in which the original jury's decision should be understood, indicating systemic flaws in the original trial process.
