No criminal justice system is perfect. Sometimes it "miscarries" and innocent people are convicted. The consequences can be devastating for those involved, and sometimes for society, leading to unrest or political tensions.
In this episode we look at some selected miscarriages of justice from the United States, the United Kingdom and Australia. We discuss a very controversial and live issue at the moment, the Lucy Letby convictions in the United Kingdom, involving the deaths of seven babies, which relied on expert evidence which is now being challenged by other experts.
We also look at a new phenomenon; "mass" miscarriages of justice, where governments or government agencies wrongly prosecute people and then go into denial, as happened in the UK's Post Office scandal, and in Australia with the Robodebt scandal.
Some common themes in these terrible events are discussed. At the end of the day, there is no substitute for vigilance and remaining sceptical about everything that is given in evidence.
