The Criminal Cases Review Commission - The CCRC looks into criminal cases where people believe they have been wrongly convicted or wrongly sentenced. These cases are for those who have already lost their appeal. If we do find something wrong with a conviction or sentence, we can send the case back to the Court of Appeal. To launch a fresh appeal, we need something important like strong new evidence or an argument that makes the case look different now. https://ccrc.gov.uk
