As a society, we put our trust in the police and the criminal justice system. We believe not only that a victim of a crime will get the justice they deserve, but that the true perpetrators will be held accountable. So what happens when an investigation targets the wrong person?
In a groundbreaking new series, Wrongly Accused, investigative journalist Louise Shorter looks at some of the UK’s greatest miscarriages of justice, in which the wrong person was accused or found guilty of murder, often spending years behind bars for a crime they didn’t commit. It might sound like something out of a film, but like Louise says, ‘If it happened to them, it could happen to you.’
‘I HELPED FREE AN INNOCENT MAN’
Louise Shorter is an investigative journalist and the host of Wrongly Accused on CBS Reality.
