Overview

This text examines 50 capital crimes committed in England, Scotland and Wales in the 20th century. It examines murder cases where the accused was found guilty and either executed, or dentenced to life imprisonment. In each case it is argued that there was reasonable doubt, either as to the guilt, or the sanity of the accused.
