If every sentence tells a story, every word leaves a trace. Writing Wrongs, from the Aston Institute for Forensic Linguistics, explores why language analysis plays a crucial role in solving crimes and improving the delivery of justice. It's hosted by Professor Tim Grant and Dr Nicci MacLeod; the first episode looks at Timothy Evans who was wrongfully convicted and executed for murder almost 75 years ago - with forensic linguistics showing that his confession was likely written by the police.
