British man who spent 38 years in prison 'not angry' as murder conviction overturned

A man who spent 38 years in a British prison has had his murder conviction overturned. The Court of Appeal in London quashed the conviction of 68-year-old Peter Sullivan on Tuesday. Sullivan is believed to be the longest-serving victim of a wrongful conviction in the U.K. He was convicted of killing barmaid Diane Sindall in northwest England in August 1986. The Criminal Cases Review Commission found that DNA evidence from the crime scene did not match Sullivan. The commission had declined to refer Sullivan's case to the appeals court in 2008 and the court turned away his appeal in 2019.
