TRIGGER WARNING – This episode contains strong language.
Dawn and Cole recount the harrowing events of 15 July 1969, when James Griffiths went on a shocking shooting spree in Glasgow. What began as a misunderstanding escalated into a violent rampage, leaving twelve injured and one dead. The episode explores Griffiths' criminal past, his escape from HMP Parkhurst, and the tragic murder of Rachel Ross, which led to a controversial royal pardon for Paddy Meehan. The hosts explore the complex web of crime, police actions, and the eventual justice—or lack thereof—for the victims involved.
