Hi everyone,
I don't really know a lot about this case but thought uk viewers might be interested in this programme on channel four thurs at nine about robert brown who apparently was wrongly convicted of murder.
It is called picking up the pieces
regards
Jennifer

I heard a radio interview with this person this afternoon. He doesn't come across as a very likeable person and he certainly spoke a lot of nonsense on air. He said he was picked up and then beaten for two days to get a confession. Utter nonsense. Anyone being beaten for half an hour would be marked badly enough for questions to be asked in court.

Apparently he was a career criminal before being charged with this murder. I notice like most criminals he shouts very loudly about an injustice being done to him - not a word about all the lives he ruined by his thieving ways. I wonder if he shared any of his compensation with his victims!

At least he is out of prison now, I imagine some of his victims will never be released from the terror he instilled in them!

Bob
