Legally Crimed

On the 26th of April 1999, beloved television presenter and journalist Jill Dando was brutally murdered in broad daylight. The crime shocked and disturbed the nation, and sparked a variety of theories as to why such a well-loved and successful individual would be killed in cold blood. After mounting pressure to find the killer, the Metropolitan police embarked on a witch hunt to apprehend the perpetrator, which is now regarded as one of the institutions' worst miscarriages of justice.

The law led to one of the most successful civil rights movements in modern British history, however, the journey towards equality is far from over.

In 2008, Tim McLean embarked on a long bus journey across Canada, but he would never make it to his final destination. Attacked in his sleep by a man 'on a mission from God', no one could have been prepared for the horrors that ensued. His tragic and shocking murder sparked huge controversy surrounding the attribution of criminal responsibility to those with mental illnesses.
