Court of Appeal quashes Donna Anthony's conviction — the CCRC-referral precedent
The Court of Appeal (Criminal Division) quashes Donna Anthony's 1998 conviction for the murder of her two infant children. Unlike Clark and Cannings (whose acquittals came via second direct appeals), Anthony's acquittal came via CCRC referral — the same statutory route the October 2025 Letby supplementary CCRC submissions is taking. Establishes that a first-appeal dismissal does not foreclose later CCRC review.
