The Guardian — World has covered a development concerning “Enact Trew’s law to automatically review ‘bent copper’ convictions, states report,” with the available account limited to the facts included in the supplied text.

Experts say failure to immediately review cases involving corrupt police officers risks ‘ruining’ more lives Convictions that imprisoned police officers were involved in obtaining should be automatically reviewed to correct miscarriages of justice such as those perpetrated by the corrupt and racist officer DS Derek Ridgewell , a report states. The report also notes that The proposed Trew’s law, named following Winston Trew – who was framed by Ridgewell and spent decades fighting to clear his name – would trigger an immediate, independent review of past cases linked to any jailed officer in England and Wales.
