Jailed for 12 years: Andrew Mallard's wrongful murder conviction | Australian Story

When Pamela Lawrence was murdered in her Perth shop in 1994, police focused their investigation around one suspect, Andrew Mallard.

He quickly became the victim of a miscarriage of justice, spending 12 years in jail for a crime he didn’t commit.

Andrew Mallard’s family fought successfully to release him, enlisting then WA Shadow Attorney-General John Quigley and journalist Colleen Egan who uncovered a trail of deception and police misconduct.

ABC’s Australian Story talks to the friends who stood by him until his untimely death in April 2019.
