    The Trial That Never Was

    Inspired by the discovery of a report written by a senior detective into the murder of Sandra Rivett and months away from the 50th anniversary of the crime we present The Trial of Lord Lucan. Co-presenters Caroline Cheetham and Stephen Wright visit the original crime scene in Belgravia, central London, and discuss the importance of the police document.

The duo also meet two real-life, eminent barristers who will argue the case in the podcasts. Max Hardy, who is acting as ‘prosecutor’ & Edward Henry KC, who is ‘defending’ Lucan.

    ÉPISODE 3

    The Case for the Prosecution

    Senior barrister Max Hardy takes on the role of the ‘prosecutor’ in The Trial of Lord Lucan, the Mail’s landmark podcast series on one of Britain’s most infamous murders. After analysing the original 60-page Scotland Yard report on the 1974 case, and studying contemporaneous statements, letters, books and other evidence, Mr Hardy states why he believes Lucan – and Lucan alone – was responsible for the murder of nanny Sandra Rivett and the near fatal murderous attack on his estranged wife, Veronica. In doing so, he explains the peer’s background and how he had the means, motive and wherewithal to carry out the atrocities.

    ÉPISODE 5

    Flaws in the Case

    In this episode, we hear from one of the few surviving witnesses from the night Sandra Rivett was killed.  Chris Baddick was a rookie policeman who attended the murder scene after Lady Lucan raised the alarm at the nearby Plumbers Arms. Later that night, he was sent to Lucan’s mother’s address in north London, where he overheard a telephone call from the prime suspect. Both barristers agree that Mr Baddick’s evidence is important in understanding the chaos at 46, Lower Belgrave Street as forensic experts searched for evidence. We also hear from forensic expert Allan Jamieson, who talks about the techniques used to examine crime scenes and evidence at the time.  The Trial of Lord Lucan is an innovative week-long podcast event where you the listener, are the jury.

    ÉPISODE 6

    The Case for the Defence

    You, the jury, have heard the evidence and arguments and are now being asked to deliberate and decide Lord Lucan’s fate. In his closing speech, defence barrister Edward Henry KC urges you to judge the case based on ‘the evidence, and the evidence alone’, saying Lord Lucan had been the victim of a ‘tsunami of prejudice’. ‘This is perhaps the most notorious murder allegation of modern times,’ he adds, as he concedes that the ‘odds are stacked’ against his client. But questioning whether Lucan could ever get a fair trial, he states the prosecution is ‘drenched in prejudice’. ‘John Bingham, Lord Lucan, has been convicted countless times before he even entered this courtroom. He has been vilified .. his whole life defamed in the Press, the Media, and on the Internet - for decade upon decade before this trial. Mr Henry also describes the forensic evidence at the murder scene as a ‘fiasco’ because of contamination. His fate is in your hands. ‘The Trial of Lord Lucan’ is an innovative week-long podcast event where you the listener, are the jury.  Voting is now OPEN.
