Three black men in UK say ‘institutional racism’ influenced murder convictions

Durrell Goodall, Reano Walters and Nathaniel Williams are applying for a formal review of their convictions as teenagers

Lawyers for three black men convicted as teenagers of a 2016 murder in Manchester will apply for their convictions to be formally reviewed, arguing they resulted from institutional racism by the police, prosecution and judge.

The mothers of the three men – Durrell Goodall, Reano Walters and Nathaniel “Jay” Williams – will travel to Birmingham to personally deliver their sons’ 180-page application to the Criminal Cases Review Commission (CCRC).
