We’re taught to believe that our justice system is fair. That it’s almost impossible for an innocent person to go to prison for a crime they didn't commit. But what if that isn’t the case? From teenagers jailed over group-chat messages, a former police officer alleging he’s been stitched up by colleagues, to four men claiming a corrupt undercover police sting led to their terrorism conviction, The... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Danny Major: I Was Fit-up by Colleagues, Says Jailed Police Officer
Q: Why did it take so long for the case to reach a potential review?
A combination of delayed processing, reluctance of the authorities to disclose information, and procedural barriers within the system led to decades of inaction before Operation Lamp and the CCRC began to effectively reopen the case.
Danny Major: I Was Fit-up by Colleagues, Says Jailed Police Officer
Q: What happened with the CCTV footage and why is it important to the case?
The CCTV footage was selectively edited, with only two of six relevant tapes retrieved and 14 hours reduced to two 90-minute clips, which removed key witnesses and evidence that could have supported Major's defense.
Robin Garbutt: Innocent Robbery Victim or Cold-Blooded Killer?
Q: So what was Robin like back then when you first met him? How would you have described him?
Joan Metcalfe describes him as funny, gentle, bright, hardworking, and a loyal friend who enjoyed a stable life with his wife before the murder and subsequent conviction.
