What were the key reasons behind Helen Pitcher's resignation as chair of the CCRC?

Helen Pitcher, chair of the Criminal Cases Review Commission (CCRC), resigned after facing criticism for the CCRC's mishandling of the Andy Malkinson case, where Mr. Malkinson spent 17 years in prison for a rape he did not commit.
