Miscarriage of justice

Unfair outcome in trial

A miscarriage of justice occurs when an unfair outcome occurs in a criminal or civil proceeding. Examples of miscarriage of justice include conviction of an innocent person, error of impunity, sentencing disparity, and delayed justice. Innocent people have sometimes ended up in prison for years before their conviction has eventually been overturned.
