8: John Bodkin Adams Part 2

8: John Bodkin Adams Part 2

The trial of Dr John Bodkin Adams had become a national sensation and it appeared that everyone had an opinion about his guilt or innocence. The newspapers discussed his wealth and where it was suspected that this wealth may have come from while some of his loyal patients exclaimed that he was an excellent doctor who had only tried to help them. It was undeniable that going into his trial in March 1957, it was going to be a huge story. John Adams was facing 2 counts of murder for the deaths of Edith Morrell and Gertrude Bobby Hullet. The trial involved mysterious evidence reemerging, expert witnesses disagreeing and an unusual move by the defence. The trial all led to the eventual question of was Dr John Bodkin Adams innocent or guilty of the crimes?
