A report from the House of Commons justice committee highlights significant leadership failures within the Criminal Cases Review Commission (CCRC), particularly under chief executive Karen Kneller. The committee criticized Kneller for providing inadequate evidence regarding the handling of a miscarriage of justice case involving Andrew Malkinson. It found her justifications for delays and costly training trips questionable, suggesting that she should step down, as the CCRC requires substantial reform to regain credibility and function effectively.
The House of Commons justice committee stated that Karen Kneller’s position as chief executive of the CCRC is no longer tenable, following persistent leadership failures.
The committee noted concerns about unpersuasive evidence provided by Kneller, stating it undermined the ability of the committee to scrutinize the CCRC effectively.
