Glyn Maddocks‘ LinkedIn profile states he “specialises in all aspects of criminal appeals and miscarriages of justice”.
In March 2011 Glyn Maddocks co founded the Centre for Criminal Appeals (Now known as APPEAL who since 2021 have collaborated with Healing Justice a US based org) alongside Vera Baird (who recently resigned as victims commissioner) and Emily Bolton (wife of Clive Stafford-Smith who was mentioned by Campbell Malone in Part 19g here).
Two weeks after setting up The Justice Gap Jon (Jonathan) Robins wrote an article which was published by the Guardian headed Justice gap can be filled by the new Centre for Criminal Appeals. Excerpts read;
The idea behind the Centre for Criminal Appeals is to fill what Madocks calls “a very real justice gap”. The lawyer points to the network of help for those claiming to be victims of judicial error: the university-based Innocence Projects, a diminishing number of criminal defence lawyers who are willing to spend time on poorly remunerated appeals work and other initiatives such as the Inside Justice led by the journalist Louise Shorter at Inside Times. However, Maddocks argues, there is nothing “which brings together the level of expertise necessary”
What about the CCRC? “When the Commission came on stream, we all thought that it was Valhalla,” replies Baird. She points out that the human rights group JUSTICE, which pioneered miscarriage investigations, then retreated from case work, not wanting to tread on the commission’s toes. “It has taken quite a while to appreciate that the problems aren’t over.”
The three lawyers behind the CCA argue that the commission’s resources are becoming increasingly stretched, with more than 1,000 cases a year to progress (the commission has been outspoken about its own funding issues) and now “faces an almost impossible task in undertaking the depth and level of investigation that is required in all but a very few of them”. The watchdog has come under some pretty heavy fire, as critics argue the Birmingham-based body is no longer fit for purpose.

Cult-Like Wrongful Conviction Movement ‘Won’t Face Up To’ Very Real Innocence Fraud Phenomenon
Was there ‘a very real justice gap’ or were Glyn Maddocks, Emily Bolton, Vera Baird not Jon Robins not recognising and addressing the very real innocence fraud phenomenon.
Less than two months after Jon Robins above article was published one of Glynn Maddocks guilty “miscarriage of justice clients” was arrested in prison (Read more here).
A 2006 media article headed Righting a wrong which centred on Glyn Maddocks read;
“At the heart of what I do is raising the morale of people who have effectively been abandoned. I work in the hope that ultimately something will be done to right the wrong that they have suffered.”
It is work Maddocks can do only if he is convinced in his own mind that there genuinely has been a miscarriage of justice.
“You have to form a judgment of who is innocent. I cannot represent someone if I have doubts about their innocence. I need to be convinced.
David Burgess was convicted in 1967, when he was 19, of the murder of two girls in Berkshire. He has been in prison for the past 38 years. Throughout he has protested his innocence.
“Again, the evidence against him at the time was not particularly strong,” says Maddocks.
“But in those days, it was very unusual to challenge a conviction, and he has always found it very difficult to articulate his position.
“This case is in its early stages and it is obviously very difficult piecing together what happened almost 40 years ago, obtaining appropriate documentary and forensic evidence.

What happened was 17 year old Yolande Waddington went missing from Newbury in Berkshire (about 9 miles from Beenham) on the evening of the 28th of October 1966. Yolande’s naked body was found lying in a water filled ditch two days later. Her hands had been bound and she had been sexually assaulted, stabbed and strangled and tied up with a jumper knotted around her face.
The following year 9 year olds Jeanette Wigmore and Jacqueline Williams from Beenham in Berkshire were last seen alive by Jeanette’s father Tony on the 17 April 1967. Tony, and Jacqueline’s father Terry, both went out searching for their missing daughters.
At around 20:30 Terry found his daughter’s body. Jeanette Wigmore was lying face down in water at the bottom of a bank in a place called Blake’s pit. Jeanette had been stabbed five times. Jacqueline’s body was found a couple of hours later, about 100 yards away from where Jeanette had been found. Jacqueline was also found lying face down in a pool of water and had been covered with leaves and twigs. Jacqueline and been sexually assaulted, strangled and then drowned.
Serial killer David Burgess was convicted for his murders of Jeanette Wigmore and Jacqueline Williams in 1967 but he wasn’t convicted of Yolande Waddington murder until 2012 – 46 years later. Even though he had confessed to killing Yolande to prison officers while in Durham prison. Excerpts from a media article following the juries guilty verdict read;
A convicted child killer has been found guilty of the murder of a teenager in Berkshire 46 years ago.
David Burgess, 64, was jailed for life in 1967 for the killing of nine-year-old girls Jeanette Wigmore and Jacqueline Williams in Beenham.
He was charged with Yolande’s murder following advances in DNA techniques and convicted after a five-week trial.
Speaking on behalf of the family outside court, Yolande’s brother Giles Waddington broke down as he read from a statement.
He said: “We’re grateful that justice has now been completed and that Yolande’s murderer has been identified after more than 45 years.
“Yolande’s murder had a traumatic and irreversible effect on our family life and has cast a long shadow over nearly five decades.”
Yolande had only recently moved to the village to work as a nanny at a farm when she was killed.
She was last seen alive at the Six Bells pub on the evening of Friday, 28 October 1966.
Detectives from Scotland Yard were sent to Beenham to help with the investigation and carried out the first ever mass blood screening, with samples taken from 200 males in the area aged between 16 and 60.
A sample supposedly from Burgess was also taken, but it failed to meet one of the tests and was deemed not to be a match.
Police believe he may have got someone else to give a sample on his behalf or the specimen was labelled incorrectly.
Excerpt from a BBC article headed Yolande Waddington: David Burgess guilty of nanny’s murder dated the 12th of July 2012
In February 2020 Catherine Baksi wrote an article here headed:
The article included the following quote and projection by Glyn Maddocks;
In every other walk of life, if something goes wrong an independent inquiry looks into failures and errors – the criminal justice system doesn’t
Excerpt by Glyn Maddocks
An online search to see where Glyn Maddocks went wrong following the exposure of sexual deviant and serial killer David Burgess’ innocence fraud throws up nothing.
It is therefore not known what failures and errors Glyn Maddocks made in relation to his judgment regarding dangerous serial killer and sexual deviant David Burgess. And it is not known what failures and errors Glyn Maddocks continues to make with other cases.
Was Glyn Maddocks duped by this psychopathic child killing pervert and if so what, if any, lessons did he learn? Or maybe Glyn Maddocks doesn’t care how dangerous the people he chooses to wrongly label as innocent victims of the miscarriage of justice phenomenon are, and masks his flawed judgement behind a charade?
Emily Bolton mentioned above is the solicitor representing violent rapist and fraudster Andrew Malkinson.
