The Court of Appeal in Britain has exonerated three black men who were convicted of a robbery nearly 50 years ago on the testimony of a corrupt police officer.
The ruling is the latest in a series of cases that have been overturned because they relied on the testimony of a corrupt police officer who later died in prison.
The court quashed the convictions of Courtney Harriot, Paul Green and Cleveland Davidson who were aged between 17 and 22 when they were accused of attempted robbery.
Speaking outside the court Davidson and Green described their successful appeal as a vindication.
The men were accused of trying to rob a plainclothes detective on a London underground train, but they maintained their innocence.
The Court of Appeal took up their case late last year after it was referred by a commission set up to investigate miscarriages of justice.
