    Criminal Cases Review Commission
  • In 1998 Kevin applied to the Criminal Cases Review Commission (CCRC) to have his case referred to the Court of Appeal.

  • Part of the submissions concerned allegations that Spackman had fabricated evidence with Roger Vincent and David Smith and withheld other evidence that would have proved Kevin’s innocence.
    It was also submitted that Spackman had done a deal with Vincent that would result in his and acquittal at the expense of Kevin’s conviction.

  • These submissions may have sounded preposterous at the time because Spackman was perceived as an honest high ranking officer with an unblemished record. Kevin’s allegations would be somewhat vindicated however over the next few years.
