A man who served 17 years in prison for a crime he did not commit has said he is "really anxious" about losing his home as a result of receiving compensation.Andrew Malkinson, 59, was wrongly convicted of rape in 2004 and chances to free him were repeatedly missed, leading to one of the worst miscarriages of justice in UK legal history.He received the first payment of compensation a year and a half after the Court of Appeal quashed his conviction, but he may now lose access to social housing because the payments are not exempt from the assessment for state support.Mr Malkinson told the PA news agency on Thursday he fears being forced to leave his home as a result.
