Or whether Oscar was innocently accused

All brief case episodes

Easier to accuse a less established person I suppose.

@@columbmurray I am quite aware of this, however that was an obvious place to look into and also my point about a crap lawyer as they should have looked into it as well.

@@columbmurray Exactly! British author Ludovic Kennedy has written several books about judicial injustices where the innocent are falsely accused and convicted. One book was "10 Rillington Place," which was about London serial killer John Reginald Christie, who murdered dozens of women in his own apartment at the titular address, where he hid most of the bodies. Two of these murders, however, were wrongly blamed on Timothy Evans, who lived in the same building as Christie. (The two victims were Evans' wife and daughter) Evans was eventually convicted of these slayings (partly on Christie's testimony), and was hanged in 1949. A few years later, after several bodies of women were discovered in Christie's apartment, he was arrested and he confessed to the murders -- including that of Timothy Evans' wife and daughter, thus clearing Evans' name! Christie himself was tried and convicted and was hanged in 1953. Timothy Evans was given a posthumous pardon after Mr. Kennedy's book about the case exposed the many blunders of the police, who were convinced of Evans' guilt and didn't even bother to consider John R. Christie as a possible suspect. By the way, there was a movie about this case, entitled, of course, "10 Rillington Place," as well as a PBS miniseries of the same name. Mr. Kennedy also wrote "The Airman And The Carpenter," in which he argued that Bruno Richard Hauptmann didn't kidnap or murder the infant son of noted aviator Colonel Charles Lindbergh, that he, Hauptmann, was framed because the police concentrated solely on evidence that implicated him and no one else, even though the New Jersey State Police were originally operating on the assumption that the crime was the work of an underworld gang . In the book, Kennedy stated that the majority of unjust convictions are the result of overzealous police and detectives deciding that one certain person is guilty, so they just investigate that one person, gathering facts that point to him/her alone, and ignoring any evidence to the contrary, so that, in their minds, justice is done.

The police with their tunnel vision.

Slap in the face also to the VICTIM's families, lied to about justice being served, while the real killers remain at large.

I don't think he enjoyed it. His parents were a bastion of support during the case with letter writing, unfortunately the only good thing for Oskar was he never got the chance to go back to Germany during the 1930s meaning he evaded his parents fate.

Damn cops. Too lazy to to do a proper investigation.

@@thelton100 The amount of work doesn't suggest laziness.

@@SudrianTales It’s not the amount of work but whether or not you do the work that matters. They didn’t even bother to look

I looked it up at £6,000 back then is the equivalent of around £3,000,000. Definitely a tidy sum but still a gross miscarriage of justice. An innocent man's freedom was taken away and reputation ruined and a poor murdered women didn't get the justice she deserved

Hi there Ayape!

@@bettyjames4155 Hi Betty.

Thanks Tobye

They should demonetize the media

Oscar Slater was a victim of prejudicial publicity, just like Dr. Sam Sheppard.

"ONCE ENLISTED, OPINION IS A BOLIDE" it's tougher to do a job, than watch, and, even with top procedures,.errors exist like a program & script bugs - however, any of the people tending to hold high persuasiveness must curb said influence, lest they burden a situation by hasty conclusions, problematic evidence & dubious sources (etc).. great men say such things : "one injustice, done anywhere, is a threat to all justice, everywhere..!" - abraham lincoln... - e p i l o g u e - "almost one week past now, she tossed, restless & each night dreamt of that verdict; unable to shake an emotion that nagged as nightmares - the next day, her vote put an end to their deadlock, with a minute of discussion, as she joined others in "not guilty".. finally, the confusion passed and no further plague images haunted her every dream..!!" ~WarriorPoet~

Only death penalty cases. Jurors*

I know

Thanks Nancy, I was in Toronto a few weeks ago, it was great, take care :)

Sad? Nobody alive knew her 🙄

Good morning Canada 😀🇬🇧

@@pattimaeda6097 Yes sad. Human loss is tragic. Don't forget how to be human Patti

The guilty party typically refuses to cooperate. Such a crap trial!

Good here in Florida. Have a great day!

@@MultiMoo20 Blessings!!! 👍🏼 ❤️

IKR. The way the years kept flying by and by Briefy's somber tone of voice, I kept thinking he was going to say that Oscar died before they'd let him out!

Maybe somebody set up Oscar. Sad that lady died. Time 8:50PM Mon 11/25/21

I think you're right, and the maid was romantically involved with the man that did it.

Poor guy wanted to prove the Afterlife existed so he could see his son who died in the war again

This sort of thing is still happening

@@tinbender28086 Yes it is, with alarming regulafity.

I forgot that, yea, the judge would have caused the whole thing to be a mistrial and grounds for an appeal today. That judge was an idiot.

Hi Perry!

@@bettyjames4155 Hey Betty. How's things?

Thanks Jen

@@BriefCaseOfficial You are very welcome! I like to give credit, where credit is due! True crime has always been fascinating to me, and your channel is one of the best I have found! You set the story, you give details, and you do it in a straightforward manner. You don't drag it out, but you still present the facts, and the details that your viewers need to know. Amazing in every way!

@@chaosdromanah8620 Hallo 🖐🏼

Thankyou :)

I love it! Sounds like they should be playing a happy tune

@@lazyhomebody1356 😂 I can just imagine the tune "Pop Goes the Weasel" playing as the suspects are being scrutinized.

In law, almost all evidence is circumstantial, including virtually all forensic evidence, which means it is not a direct observation of a fact at issue. The base question is whether all of the credible body of evidence is consistent with and exclusively indicative of the theory explaining the crime, but in practice, this has to be implemented practically, leading to the requirement of the case being made beyond reasonable doubt. I do not think this can be ever safely subject to compromise.

Thankyou so much for all your support, It is greatly appreciated :)

Good morning right back 🔙 at you ☺️
