CCRC may be able to offer legal assistance if you believe there has been a miscarriage of justice. The body will consider applications from individuals who have been convicted of a criminal offence and have exhausted all other legal avenues, such as appeals. If the CCRC believes there is a real possibility that the conviction or sentence is 'unsafe', it may refer the case to an appeal court for review.
