＜p＞＜strong＞The memoir of a man wrongfully convicted of murder and his 27 years spent in the U.K. prison system until his conviction was overturned.＜/strong＞＜/p＞ ＜p＞On September 12, 1973, seventeen-year-old, na?ve gardener Stephen Downing returned from his lunch break to discover the badly beaten, unconscious, thirty-two-year-old Wendy Sewell lying on the footpath of Bakewell Cemetery close to Catcliff Wood and the consecrated chapel where she had been attacked. Stephen ran to the nearby workmen’s building, and in the meantime Wendy’s attacker returned and dragged her body to a second location where she was subsequently found soon after.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Despite having learning difficulties, Downing was immediately taken into custody, questioned at length without a solicitor, and eventually signed a false confession statement. Wendy died some two days later from her injuries. Following a very biased, three-day trial during February, 1974, Downing was found guilty by a jury, convicted, and sentenced to what was eventually a full life sentence.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Just eight months later during October, 1974, there followed an appeal with fresh evidence from an eye witness who saw Wendy Sewell alive after Downing left the cemetery for lunch. However, the prosecution trashed this evidence, and the appeal failed.＜/p＞ ＜p＞In the years following Downing’s incarceration, he was moved from prison to prison, continuing to maintain his innocenceーand in doing so, jeopardizing any chance of parole, as he was “In Denial of Murder”ーuntil eventually his plight reached journalist Don Hale. Hale’s tireless efforts led to an appeal in which Downing was released after some twenty-seven years, the longest miscarriage of justice in the United Kingdom’s legal history.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。
