Halya Coynash: Ukrainian (in)justice – Panasenko serving a life sentence as they needed to convict somebody
Volodymyr Panasenko is serving a life sentence for a crime quite literally nobody believes he committed. He was sentenced to life imprisonment on the testimony of one man's third and fourth 'confessions' which were totally retracted in court. This, however, was ignored by the judge and by the prosecutor despite the lack of anything else incriminating Panasenko.
