1950s Case Closed Or A Miscarriage Of Justice - Part 2 / The Conviction Of Alfred Burns & Edward Devlin

PLEASE LISTEN TO ‘SEASON 8 - EPISODE 40’ FOR PART ONE OF THIS TWO-PART CASE. Six months after the murder of 54-year-old widow Beatrice Alice Rimmer in the hallway of her Liverpool home, two young men from Manchester were facing the possibility of being executed. The prosecution's case was based on the evidence of informants who claimed to have seen Edward Devlin and Alfred Burns in the area at the time the crime was committed, and some alleged to have heard them plan a break-in at the victim’s home. After a week of legal proceedings, the accused were given the chance to plead their case and try to prove their innocence... (Part 2 of 2).
