Dear Members

Further to the circulation request regarding the BBC request, I contacted Oliver Newlan from the BBC . He has further particularised his request, which I indicated I would forward his request. He is looking for specific cases. This was not something I could readily assist with but if anyone is able to, his details and request is below.

Dear Rubin,

Thank you for your time this morning. I know it’s a hard task, but hopefully we can find a case we can talk about.

If you could circulate the below among the LCCSA membership that would be really helpful. I’ve tweaked the deadline slightly in recognition this may take a little while for solicitors to consider.

“BBC Radio Current Affairs are looking into the current standards of forensic evidence and service provision in this area and would welcome research conversations with people to explore their experiences.

Perhaps you might find forensic evidence to be of consistently high quality? Alternatively you may have encountered errors that either have, or potentially could have led to miscarriages of justice?

Our enquiry includes, but is not limited to; streamlined forensic reports, digital and traditional forensics.

Either way, we are keen to hear from any legal professionals who might have specific cases they can talk about that could potentially feature in the programme. We would be happy to grant anonymity to clients.

If you would like to make contact please contact Oliver: oliver.newlan@bbc.co.uk 07846776419.

All conversations will be treated confidentially at first and we need to hear any responses no later than the close of play Monday 7th May.”

Any questions, always happy to take a call.

Thanks,

Oliver Newlan
