@davidclark1545 If pardoned would they get the same compensation? I don't think they would want a 'guilty' tag in their past record.

@johnf3885 I don't think it can 'overrule' the judiciary except by changing the law. After all one of the basic protections of the democratic system is the separation of powers between the executive, the legislative and the judiciary.

@neilpickup237 At present retrials can only happen on an individual basis and there were over 700 people charged I understand. I'm not sure that offering no evidence would dismiss the evidence previously offered and considered by the courts. The process is through the courts of appeal showing how the previous trial was faulty or that new evidence has come to light that would exonerate people - a slower process.
