Description
A spell-binding account of an appalling miscarriage of justice is presented in "Murderers Or Martyrs". Charged with the "Cranborne Road murder" of Wavertree widow Alice Rimmer, two Manchester youths were hastily condemned by a Liverpool jury on police-orchestrated lies. George Skelly's detailed account of the warped trial and its predictable appeal result will enrage all who believe in justice. The case highlights a second police conspiracy involving the same senior detective, which led to the execution of two young men. The Criminal Cases Review Commission ultimately failed to refer this gross injustice to the Court of Appeal, leaving Teddy Devlin and Alfie Burns with no trace other than a tiny plaque at Walton Prison. This book is part of George Skelly's work exposing miscarriages of justice, including his previous account of an equally disturbing case where an innocent man was hanged.
