At 17, I was jailed for a murder I didn't commit - and spent seven life-changing years in prison: Sam Hallam
Basic police checks would have shown Sam Hallam wasn't at the scene of the crime, but these weren't carried out until he had spent much of his youth inside. He explains why he is still fighting for justice, years after his release.
The first Sam Hallam heard of the crime that would cost him seven years of his life was when two girls approached him in the street. They told him that they knew what had happened - there had been a street brawl two days earlier in east London involving about 40 people and he had attacked a young man who was now dead. Hallam, then 17 and with no criminal convictions, was bewildered. He hadnÕt even been there, let alone attacked the victim, a popular 21-year-old trainee chef called Essayas Kassahun.
It was a week after the incident in October 2004 when four or five police officers turned up at his mother's flat.
Eight people stood trial for the murder of Kassahun. The jury at the Old Bailey heard that the attack was an act of revenge.
On 16 May 2012, the case finally returned to the court of appeal for a second time. In the morning HallamÕs team, led by Foot and barrister Henry Blaxland QC, argued that the convictions were unsafe. Immediately after lunch, at 2pm, the prosecution announced it would not contest the appeal.
His convictions were overturned.

DUKAS_162870874_EYE
At 17, I was jailed for a murder I didn't commit - and spent seven life-changing years in prison: Sam Hallam
Basic police checks would have shown Sam Hallam wasn't at the scene of the crime, but these weren't carried out until he had spent much of his youth inside. He explains why he is still fighting for justice, years after his release.
The first Sam Hallam heard of the crime that would cost him seven years of his life was when two girls approached him in the street. They told him that they knew what had happened - there had been a street brawl two days earlier in east London involving about 40 people and he had attacked a young man who was now dead. Hallam, then 17 and with no criminal convictions, was bewildered. He hadn’t even been there, let alone attacked the victim, a popular 21-year-old trainee chef called Essayas Kassahun.
It was a week after the incident in October 2004 when four or five police officers turned up at his mother's flat.
Eight people stood trial for the murder of Kassahun. The jury at the Old Bailey heard that the attack was an act of revenge.
On 16 May 2012, the case finally returned to the court of appeal for a second time. In the morning Hallam’s team, led by Foot and barrister Henry Blaxland QC, argued that the convictions were unsafe. Immediately after lunch, at 2pm, the prosecution announced it would not contest the appeal.
His convictions were overturned.
