Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Two men had armed robbery convictions quashed after the Court of Appeal heard that the main evidence against them came from a supergrass who had been discredited because of his involvement in the plot to implicate the Manchester police officer, Ged Corley. Michael Royle, 29, and Robert Hall, 37, both from the Manchester area, had been implicated by George Allan. In 1989, Mr Corley was jailed for 17 years for robbery but cleared by the Court of Appeal in 1990.
