Did anyone watch this last night on Channel4? It's on for five days I found it really interesting viewing and very well done a mixture of fact and fiction I found it by accident so had no expectations

I thought it was fascinating and thought provoking, good to see a different format of programme too. I wanted him to be innocent, just because I was thinking of the future of the children.

I wasn't sure, and was shocked to see the truth afterwards. He did come across as very cold blooded.I would have voted Not Guilty too, as there was reasonable doubt.It is scary to think how many people may be wrongly convicted, and how any guilty people are walking free.

I don't know if they always stand trial again in these circumstances, or if sometimes it is just left.

I recorded and binge-watched the lot today. I wasn't even sure that I would watch, but am so glad I did. Even though I would have voted Not Guilty. Like others above, I'm now wondering about how often there are miscarriages of justice out in the real world - and cowardly hoping I never have the responsibility of jury service.
