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?

Cursed Objects: The Crying Boy Painting

In the 1980s a kitsch mass-produced painting of a tearful child was linked to a spate of unexplained house fires across the UK in the 1980s. Firefighters noticed that when they attended house fires there was often one object left intact, the big blue eyes of a little crying boy, its edges singed, the frame sooty. But surviving seemingly countless fires. So how did the legend of the crying boy painting lead to a massive tabloid bonfire? Find out, on this episode of Paranormia. *** If you have a story where crime and the otherworldly intertwine, something strange, unexplained or just plain haunted, get in touch at paranormia@alwaystruecrime.com.

One Punch Killings at Christmas: When Xmas Parties Turn Deadly

Christmas parties are meant to be a time to unwind - a few drinks, familiar faces, and a break from the everyday routine - but the festive season also brings real and often overlooked dangers. In this video, we explore the deadly reality of one-punch killings, where a split-second act of violence can end one life and permanently destroy another. We examine how these incidents typically unfold on nights out, the role alcohol plays, and whether sentencing for one-punch manslaughter truly reflects the harm caused. We also look at other risks that spike during the festive period, including fake taxi drivers and drink spiking. From offenders impersonating licensed cabbies to gain trust, to the growing number of spiking cases that never result in charges, we break down the methods used, the legal challenges involved, and the devastating impact on victims. Alongside real cases, we discuss prevention, public awareness and personal safety - asking whether more can be done to stop these crimes before tragedy strikes.

Barrister Who Killed Pensioner Cleared to Return to the Bar | UK True Crime News

A UK barrister jailed for causing death by dangerous driving has been cleared to return to work, and the decision is dividing opinion. In July 2022, Hamish Hickey fatally injured 84-year-old Michael Lupton in a head-on crash near Ampleforth, North Yorkshire. After initially denying responsibility, he later admitted the offence and was sentenced to 23 months in prison. The Bar Standards Board has now ruled he can resume practising law once his sentence, including time spent on licence, is complete. In this video we break down the fatal crash, the court proceedings, sentencing for causing death by dangerous driving in the UK, and the controversial decision to allow a convicted barrister back into the justice system. We examine public confidence in the legal profession, rehabilitation after prison, professional misconduct standards, and whether serious criminal convictions should carry lasting career consequences. This episode explores accountability, privilege, dangerous driving laws in England and Wales, and the wider implications for the UK criminal justice system.

Missing: The Sodder Christmas Mystery

On Christmas Eve 1945, a fire tore through a family home in the hills of West Virginia. Four children escaped, but five never came out. When the smoke cleared, there were no bodies in the ashes and no bones.In the years that followed, the Sodder family rejected the official story. They spoke of cut phone lines, a missing ladder, warnings from strangers, and a photograph mailed decades later that seemed to show one of the lost children alive. For eighty years, the case has hovered between accident and conspiracy. This episode explores the disappearance of the Sodder children and the questions that refuse to fade. *** If you have a story where crime and the otherworldly intertwine, something strange, unexplained or just plain haunted, get in touch at paranormia@alwaystruecrime.com.

Spirits: The God Helmet

Elizabeth takes us into the remote mining country of northern Ontario, where a neuroscientist named Michael Persinger has spent decades trying to understand how the brain constructs some of our most powerful experiences. At the centre of his work is a modified motorcycle helmet, fitted with coils that deliver weak, patterned magnetic fields to the temporal lobes. The idea is unsettlingly simple… could the feeling of a presence in the room, even something interpreted as God, be triggered by subtle changes in brain activity? As one journalist sits inside Persinger’s lab and undergoes the experiment himself, the line between neuroscience and the supernatural begins to blur in unexpected ways. Plus Elizabeth shares a little about the release of her new book.
