Has Guiseppe Conlon ever been exonerated? If so, what are the details? If not, why not? Thanks for the information.

Yes, his conviction was overturned and the government eventually issued an apology:

Prosecuting the officers responsible would be a start. Surely that would constitute justice not revenge.

I've had a lot of sobering thoughts in my time Del Boy, it's them that started me drinking!

And by not prosecute these corrupt officials LEADS to revenge.

Spoiler alert for them spoil sports out there! Y'all like spoiled milk, stop crying over it!
