Criminal Cases Review Commission
- Peter Taylor also said he would be speaking to his colleagues in the CCRC and coming to a decision as how to best take the case forward and what they should do and he would call in a couple of weeks.
- The CCRC refused Kevin’s first application on the 15th October 2003 (27 days from the 18-10-03) without carrying our one single interview and stated the following: “The Commission has now considered your application for a review of your conviction. On the information currently available to it, the Commission is not minded to refer your case for a fresh appeal”.
- Kevin contacted the CCRC and expressed that although he was very disappointed with its decision he was concerned that his application did not receive a fair review and was suspicious that Mr Baden Skitt, the former Chief Constable of Hertfordshire Police at the time of Mr Magill’s murder, was one of the 14 CCRC members.
The CCRC stated in its response: “…it was inevitable that members of the CCRC knew the police in Mr Lanes case, or knew someone who knew them; however this has not caused bias…”
