Suzanne Leal and the BAD All About Crime team consider the all-important question: what if they're innocent?  Forensic anthropologist and criminologist, Dr Xanthe Mallett, talks to Suzanne about her investigations into wrongful convictions and tells us why some cases still keep her awake at night.  Best-selling crime writer, Candice Fox, also joins us to explain why the wrongfully convicted continue to find their way into her novels.  Andy Muir, Catherine du Peloux Menagé and Sue Turnbull then chat with Suzanne about those criminal convictions – both in fiction and in life – that have most disturbed and intrigued them.
