[2011] EWCA Crim 1255

The acquittal of a man who had faced a private prosecution for his involvement in the racist killing of a teenage boy in 1993 was quashed and a new trial ordered. Under the Criminal Justice Act 2003 s.78 there was "new and compelling evidence" and it was in the interests of justice under s.79 to make the order.
