Mystery and My Family. 00:00:00.000 - 00:00:00.680
The British justice system is the envy of the world. 00:00:03.000 - 00:00:05.760
But in the past, mistakes have been made. 00:00:06.800 - 00:00:09.600
Between the 1900 and the year 1964, 00:00:09.600 - 00:00:12.960
approximately 800 people were hanged in the United Kingdom. 00:00:12.960 - 00:00:15.960
Many of those desperately protested their innocence. 00:00:17.200 - 00:00:20.640
Some of these long-standing convictions 00:00:20.640 - 00:00:23.320
could be a miscarriage of justice. 00:00:23.320 - 00:00:25.640
She has received most of the blows in this position 00:00:25.640 - 00:00:28.480
once she's already bleeding. 00:00:28.480 - 00:00:30.280
In this series, a living relative 00:00:30.280 - 00:00:31.960
will attempt to clear their family name. 00:00:31.960 - 00:00:34.000
My father died thinking that his father was a murderer. 00:00:34.000 - 00:00:37.120
That must have been terrible. 00:00:37.120 - 00:00:38.400
Searching for new evidence... 00:00:38.400 - 00:00:40.680
The findings on it are really quite instructive. 00:00:40.680 - 00:00:43.320
There was no blood inside the hammer. 00:00:43.320 - 00:00:45.040
..with help from two of the UK's leading barristers, 00:00:46.720 - 00:00:50.320
one for the defence... 00:00:50.320 - 00:00:51.960
This is a very worrying case. 00:00:51.960 - 00:00:54.200
I think the evidence is very suspect. 00:00:54.200 - 00:00:56.600
