An Unjust Hanging: Sent to the gallows by folly, ignorance and a doctor's selfish cruelty - Paperback

by Dave Halliwell (Author)

A life ended by a rope.
A verdict fueled by fear.
A justice system too blind to see the truth.

In a Britain still clinging to harsh traditions, a young man stood trial for a crime he may never have committed - and paid with his life.
An Unjust Hanging exposes the chilling true story of a judicial failure that claimed an innocent life, forever staining the record of British law.

Inside this harrowing case:

• The thin evidence that sealed a tragic fate

• The public outrage that grew too late

• The chilling insight into how justice once worked - and how easily it failed

• The lasting legacy: a case that became a rallying cry for reformers fighting to end the death penalty

Painstakingly reconstructed from court records, contemporary accounts, and historical analysis, this is more than a true crime story - it's a call to remember those the system betrayed.

Not all crimes end at the gallows.
Sometimes, that's where they begin.

Part of the Fatal Secrets true crime series.
