Episode description
Despite little evidence against him and denying any involvement, James Hanratty was convicted of the ‘A6 Murder’ and in 1962 became one of the last people in the UK to be executed before capital punishment was abolished. Hanratty denied it was him up until his death, and his family have fought to prove his innocence since. In this episode, Sir Geoffrey Bindman KC(Hon) discusses one of the most talked-about murder cases in British legal history and his involvement in the case.
