The inquiry found serious safeguarding failures at the Countess of Chester Hospital and concluded that the failure to alert police earlier to concerns about Letby's conduct had devastating consequences for children and their families. Professor David Wilson and Martin Frizell are joined by Christopher Morris, author of a new book examining the Lucy Letby case. They discuss the findings of the inquiry, the ongoing investigation into potential corporate manslaughter and gross negligence at the hospital, and the growing debate surrounding the safety of Letby's convictions. While the Thirlwall Inquiry made clear its position that Letby is responsible for the crimes for which she was convicted, Morris's book brings together experts who question whether her convictions are safe and explores the possibility of the case returning to the Court of Appeal.

Clancy was on trial over the deaths of her three young children, with her defence arguing that she was not criminally responsible by reason of insanity. After deliberations, the jury was unable to reach the unanimous verdict required, resulting in a mistrial. Professor David Wilson and Martin Frizell examine the case, the arguments surrounding Clancy's mental state and the extraordinary circumstances that left the jury unable to agree. They also discuss the intense public attention surrounding the trial, how one dissenting juror can result in a mistrial and what could happen next in a case that has divided opinion across America.

    How a brutal murder unfolded in a quiet Cornish village | James Desborough

    This week, we're discussing the case of James Desborough, the killer whose crimes in Cornwall earned him comparisons to the fictional serial killer Dexter Morgan. Desborough murdered two men at his isolated shack in the Cornish woods before later killing his own cellmate while serving time in prison. We look at Desborough's three murders, what happened at the secluded woodland shack, and how a man already convicted of killing twice was able to murder again behind bars. We also explore the comparisons between Desborough and Dexter, and what we actually know about the man dubbed the "Cornwall Killer". Hit subscribe so you don't miss any updates.

    New Ransom Notes Released in the Nancy Guthrie Kidnapping | UPDATE

    Does the motive for the alleged kidnapping of grandmother Nancy Guthrie lead back to a Manhattan tv studio and an obsessive fan?Kidnapping claims, mysterious ransom notes, and fresh developments—this episode examines the latest verified updates in the Nancy Guthrie case, separating confirmed facts from rumor and exploring what investigators have revealed so far. On 1 February 2026, 84-year-old Nancy Guthrie, the mother of NBC News journalist Savannah Guthrie, was abducted from her home in Arizona.

    What Happens When Britain’s Prisons are Full? Do We Offer Early Release to Murderers and Rapists?

    Britain’s prisons are full — and thousands of offenders are being released earlier than expected to create space. But who is being let out, how much of their sentence are they actually serving, and what happens when prison capacity begins to dictate justice? In this episode, we examine Britain’s overcrowding crisis and the emergency early-release schemes introduced by the government. We also look in detail at the devastating killing of PC Andrew Harper, the sentences handed to the three men responsible, his widow Lissie Harper’s campaign for Harper’s Law, and why the possibility of early release has caused renewed outrage. Are victims’ families being failed? Is the public being placed at risk? And does a prison sentence still mean what people believe it does? Because when Britain runs out of cells, someone has to be released. Hit subscribe so you don't miss any updates.
