Maloney, Gerald

Published:

Gerald Maloney was convicted in January 1994 of murder and received a sentence of life imprisonment.

The CCRC inherited an application for review of the conviction from the Home Office in March 1997.

Mr Maloney had been convicted of the murder of his wife, which the prosecution alleged he attempted to conceal by staging a car accident.

The CCRC referred the conviction in June 2000 on the basis of fresh expert accident reconstruction evidence which added support to the defence’s account and criticised the prosecution’s expert accident reconstruction witness at trial.

The Court of Appeal upheld the conviction in April 2003.
