Eddie Gilfoyle

We were delighted to welcome Eddie Gilfoyle to the office yesterday (Wednesday). We haven’t seen Eddie in Glasgow in a while, and were as pleased to see him as we always are.

Eddie very kindly spent a good part of his visit talking to our student volunteers, whose developing insight into miscarriage of justice was hugely enhanced by hearing Eddie’s personal story.

We’d like to thank Eddie for taking the time, and making the effort, to engage with our students in this way. His contribution to our project is significant, and greatly appreciated by us all.

From The Guardian online yesterday (10 July), we reproduce an interesting article that highlights this […]
