Andy Malkinson spent 17 years in jail for a rape he did not commit in 2003 .

He was only cleared in 2023 after exhaustive work by his own legal team tracked down DNA evidence.

The Criminal Cases Review Commission (CCRC) chair Helen Pitcher has resigned.

Ms Pitcher said she was made a scapegoat but Mr Malkinson said she had been "made accountable".
