For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.I'm no expert but isn't the term 'miscarriage of justice' wrong in this case? The definition is:
A miscarriage of justice, also known as a failure of justice, occurs when a person is convicted and punished for a crime that they did not commit.[1] It is seldom used as a legal defense in criminal and deportation proceedings.[2][3] The term also applies to errors in the other direction—"errors of impunity", or to any clearly unjust outcome in any civil case. Every "miscarriage of justice" in turn is a "manifest injustice." Most criminal justice systems have some means to overturn or quash a wrongful conviction, but this is often difficult to achieve. In some instances a wrongful conviction is not overturned for several decades, or until after the innocent person has been executed, released from custody, or has died.
