Paul Quinn has been sentenced to 21 years in prison for a 2003 rape in Salford. This is the same crime for which Andrew Malkinson was wrongly convicted and imprisoned for 17 years.

Paul Quinn 因 2003 年在 Salford 發生的強姦案被判處 21 年監禁。而 Andrew Malkinson 之前就因為同一宗罪行被誤判並入獄 17 年。

The legal process at Manchester Crown Court ended with the sentencing of 52-year-old Paul Quinn, who was found guilty of rape, causing serious physical harm, and attempted strangulation. During the 2003 attack, a woman in her 30s was kidnapped and suffered a broken cheekbone and other severe injuries. The judge, Mr Justice Robert Bright, described the victim as 'heroic' because she had to give evidence in two different trials, which caused her significant emotional stress.

曼徹斯特刑事法院的法律程序最後以 52 歲的 Paul Quinn 被判刑而結束，他被裁定強姦、造成嚴重身體傷害以及企圖勒殺。在 2003 年的那次襲擊中，一名 30 多歲的女性被綁架，導致顴骨骨折及其他嚴重傷勢。法官 Robert Bright 先生形容受害者非常「英勇」，因為她必須在兩次不同的審訊中出庭作證，給她帶來了巨大的精神壓力。

This case is known for a major failure in the justice system. In 2004, Andrew Malkinson, a security guard, was convicted based on a witness's identification, even though there was no forensic evidence linking him to the crime. Although DNA found on the victim's clothes in 2007 proved that Mr. Malkinson was not the attacker, he was not freed until 2020. Paul Quinn was eventually identified in 2022 thanks to new DNA technology, which matched his profile to the crime scene sample.

此案被視為司法系統重大失職的典型。2004 年，保安人員 Andrew Malkinson 僅根據一名證人的指認而被定罪，儘管當時沒有任何法醫證據將其與罪行聯繫起來。雖然 2007 年在受害者衣服上發現的 DNA 證明了 Malkinson 先生並非襲擊者，但他直到 2020 年才獲釋。Paul Quinn 最終在 2022 年透過新的 DNA 技術被識別，其樣本與案發現場樣本相符。

There have been serious consequences for the institutions involved. A 2024 review suggested that systemic mistakes may have delayed Mr. Malkinson's release by ten years. Consequently, a public inquiry has started, and the Independent Office for Police Conduct is investigating six police officers for misconduct. Furthermore, the leaders of the Criminal Cases Review Commission have resigned. Mr. Malkinson has stated that he is unhappy that Quinn received 21 years while he served a life sentence.

相關機構因此承擔了嚴重後果。2024 年的一項審查指出，系統性錯誤可能導致 Malkinson 先生延遲十年才獲釋。因此，一項公眾調查已經啟動，且警察行為獨立監察辦公室（IOPC）正調查六名警員的失職行為。此外，刑事案件審查委員會的領導層已辭職。Malkinson 先生表示，對於 Quinn 僅被判 21 年而他自己曾被判終身監禁一事，他感到非常不快。

Paul Quinn is now in prison, while official investigations continue to examine the failures that led to Andrew Malkinson's wrongful imprisonment.

Paul Quinn 目前已入獄，而官方調查則繼續審查導致 Andrew Malkinson 被冤枉入獄的失職原因。
