  • Heartbreaking but outstanding

    Thank you for the excellent work. This has hopefully raised the reach for Colon and his family and struck the fear into every single person in the UK hearing how the justice system works 💔

  • A curate’s egg

    The two Miles Bonnar investigations in this strand are excellent, but the most recent (‘Murder on the Ward’) is just another tedious example of an ambitious journalist desperately trying to find a miscarriage of justice where there is none. By the last episode it becomes almost comical hearing the journalist trying ever more desperately to come up with ways in which the convicted killer could be innocent. She would have done well to listen back to the beginning of her own investigation in whic... more

  • Outstanding

    Excellent series. Hooked from the start. Thank you. I hope Isaac & Linda & Charmaine's soul get the justice they all deserve and I hope that murderer and abuser is ultimately held accountable. What a vile individual, hiding behind anything & everyone. A pox on humanity

  • Gripping journalism

    Really enjoy all of the Disclosure podcasts. Some terribly sad stories but reported with empathy and compassion whilst still not pulling any punches. Keep going! The world needs this kind of media.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Killer on the Ward: 7. The Appeal
Q: How did you feel about Colin's chances of winning or losing?
June Norris says she did not believe the appeal would succeed and describes the heartbreak of reaching the hearing after years of trying.
Killer on the Ward: 7. The Appeal
Q: Presumably for you, sitting in the Court of Appeal, when Mike Mansfield is able to put this evidence to the Crown's experts, and they start agreeing that, yes, all these other cases do hit the questions that the jury was asking, did you feel that that was a really positive moment?
Rory Harty says that a complete answer to the jury's question could have led to a different verdict, and that the defence believed it had reached the threshold for credible new evidence.
Killer on the Ward: 6. Not That Rare After All
Q: So you have grave concerns about the way that Ethel Hall's blood test was investigated?
Marks says it should have been handled better, with hourly blood samples to track the disappearance of insulin.
Killer on the Ward: 6. Not That Rare After All
Q: So if what you're saying is that up to 10 percent of the elderly sick can have this condition, then a cluster of four or even five patients within the period of a year is not that unusual.
Marks says it would not be unusual in a hospital caring for several thousand sick people over 70 during a year.
Charmain and the Prophet: 5. Significant Others
Q: Was Charmain suicidal according to Eric's statements?
The interviewees consistently dispute that Charmain was suicidal, asserting that she loved her son and was not in a state of mind to harm herself, and they challenge Eric's portrayal of her mental state.
