  • LONDON, ENGLAND - FEBRUARY 28: David Challen (2nd L) speaking at a press conference near the High Court on February 28, 2019 in London, England. Sally Challen, 65, was convicted of murdering her husband Richard in a hammer attack in 2010 and sentenced to 22 years in prison, later reduced to 18 years. In March 2018 she won leave to appeal her conviction on the grounds that she had suffered mental disorders from the 'coercive and controlling behaviour' of her husband. Today three Judges overturned her conviction saying evidence of her mental disorders from a psychiatrist was not available at the original trial undermining the safety of her conviction. She will now face a re-trial. (Photo by Dan Kitwood/Getty Images)
