Could fishermen convicted of a 拢53m drug deal be innocent?

In 2011, a group of men from the Isle of Wight were given a combined 104-year prison sentence for masterminding a 拢53m drug smuggling operation. Does new evidence suggest they were innocent?

A new lawyer, Emily Bolton, is working on their case and believes that may be the case.

She founded the Innocence Project New Orleans in the US, which has so far freed 25 prisoners, and has recently set up a new charity in the UK - the Centre for Criminal Appeals - to specialise in miscarriage of justice investigations.
