The Law That Changed Everything | Double Jeopardy in the UK

Double jeopardy is one of the most important principles in criminal law. The idea that once a person is found not guilty, they cannot be tried again for the same offence. But in the UK, that rule changed. In this episode of True Crime Catch Up, we explore the law of double jeopardy, the Criminal Justice Act 2003, and how advances in forensic science - particularly DNA evidence - have allowed some of the most serious cases to be reopened. From the murder of Julie Hogg to the landmark Stephen Lawrence case, we break down how “new and compelling evidence” can lead to a retrial years after an acquittal. But has this reform improved justice, or weakened it? We examine the ethical debate at the heart of double jeopardy: justice vs finality, the risk of wrongful convictions, and whether the state now has too much power. With real life cases, controversial retrials, and thought-provoking questions, this episode dives into one of the most debated topics in true crime. Can a jury ever truly be impartial the second time around? And what matters more - protecting the innocent, or ensuring the guilty don’t walk free?

An Anatomical Gift

For 15 years Cedric Lodge has run Harvard Medical School mortuary - he’s a quirky local legend with a licence plate that reads “GRIM-R”, and he even has a place in the Universities hall of fame, but all that changes when he’s arrested for the most macabre crimes imaginable...selling body parts of those who donated their bodies to the medical school. The customers? Online collectors of the macabre. Geneticist and ancient DNA expert Professor Turi King explores this extraordinary story with lawyers, scientists and the family members of those who donated their bodies to Harvard Medical School while Cedric Lodge was running the morgue. Turi meets three victims: Amy Dasch, whose husband James was a brilliant biologist and innovator, who believed donating his body was the extension of his work as a scientist. Author and academic Jack Porter who lectures at Harvard, but now has to grapple with the fact his wife Raya may have been sold by Lodge. And Jennie Dunkley, who's husband Barry spent a lifetime working in law enforcement.
