A fascinating, and hugely disturbing case. Heartbreaking to listen to, and impossible to switch off. Shocking abuses of power laid bare. The Senior Judge is a very rare 🌟 I loved every second. Well, most of them. Those I didn’t were cringe-inducing. A fabulous show. Thank you so much from 🇬🇧.

As a previous reviewer stated, tried four times for one case? Quadruple jeopardy? A superb listen, falling short of a five star endorsement, if only for a trivial criticism of the sub standard audio from Redding’s recollections. Excellent narration, clearly fact checked and compliant. Loved it. Well done for producing a compelling case in podcast format.
Great Podcast!

Wow, just wow! Everyone with an interest in justice should listen to this podcast. There are so many questions about the integrity of the police, the tenacity of the judge and the corruption of the system that is supposed to deliver justice for victims and defendants. How can someone be tried 4 times for the same case?
