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 |
