I loved that they got 38 & 34 years in prison. Proper sentences, them & quite right too.
And the "big man" who was seen on CCTV happily stabbing people in the back - literally, multiple stabs in the back - was not so big when he could not stop trembling, shaking & crying in the Police interview, once he realised the game was up.
My only criticism of the Show - I'm hard to please sometimes - was that it did not need to be2-parter, it could easily have fitted into a single episode.
I do enjoy most episodes of 24 Hours in Police Custody though. I'm a big fan of non-fiction.
This weeks episode was another repeat. A surgeon that wasnt as clever as he thought he was.
He was too full of himself for my liking, & I was pleased he got rumbled.
A horrible man, that assumed the police were stupid. I expect there was a lot of cheering in households across the country when he got his just deserts.
This is a must watch, as it is absolutely incredible.
You couldnt f.ck .n make it up.
I have never seen, or heard of such incompetence.
Maybe they are too busy looking for cars that were stolen 28 years ago. This sort of thing makes my blood boil. Posh car, belongs to rich bloke? No problem Sir. Burglary in working class house? Sorry pal, we are too busy.
How can they possibly justify wasting resource on a case like this?

Justice Might Be Served: 4creative campaign spotlights British justice system ahead of Channel 4’s The Jury: Murder Trial
Channel 4 today debuts a multi-platform campaign for The Jury: Murder Trial, a new dramatization airing from Monday 26 Feb at 9pm, which will examine the jury system by recreating a real murder trial with two juries for the first time on British television. The show explores whether the two different juries made up of completely different people will reach the same verdict.
The marketing campaign which uses the tag line Justice Might Be Served, launches in out-of-home (OOH) formats, social, an audio partnership and is delivered by Channel 4’s award-winning in-house creative agency, 4creative.
The first phase of the campaign features imagery of two juries listening to the same case in court. Above some jury members are descriptions which highlight factors other than the facts of the case which could influence trials. Studies [1][2] have suggested that up to a quarter of juries’ verdicts may be susceptible to inaccuracies influenced by a range of factors beyond objective evidence.
On the day of the first broadcast of The Jury: Murder Trial [Channel 4, Monday 26 Feb at 9pm], a separate execution in OOH and newspapers that takes the form of a court summons letter, will instruct the public to watch The Jury: Murder Trial and gain insight into the experience of being a jury member.
Justice Might Be Served is the latest in a recent line of acclaimed and award-winning campaigns from 4creative. Last November, to promote Channel 4’s season of climate change programming, a bold film featuring a pair of giant carbon skid-marked underpants called out the actions and inactions of those in positions of power such as politicians and the CEOs of big businesses, questioning the extent to which they are doing enough. Last September, 4creative planted rave-style flyers and posters across UK cities to promote its Partygate docudrama on the controversial gatherings of civil servants and Conservative Party staff during the Covid-19 pandemic.
The Jury: Murder Trial will examine the jury system for the first time on British television by recreating an entire, real murder trial from the original transcripts in front of 24 jurors, randomly split into two juries, neither of whom are aware of the other. Filmed over ten days, in a former courthouse in Essex, the series will take a forensic look at the inner workings of justice. The two juries will be asked to judge on the real case of a man who admits he killed his wife, but whose defence maintains that he lost control, and is therefore not guilty of murder.
Andy Vasey and Dan Warner, Creative Directors, 4creative, said: "The show is an innovative true crime experiment that gives the public an insight into the British jury system. Our campaign spotlights how, for example, a juror being hungover or tired might be as likely to sway a verdict as the facts of the case. With one trial and two juries, it’s fascinating to see whether the same verdict will be reached by both.”

[1] Juries disagree in 23% of Guilty Verdicts and 38% of Acquittals. The Oxford Jury Project made this startling discovery when 30 ‘Shadow Juries’ watched real cases in Oxford Crown Court and they compared the shadow and real jury verdicts https://eprints.kingston.ac.uk/23/1/Darbyshire-P-23.pdf
[2] Judges disagree with Jury verdicts in 22% of cases. Chicago Law School carried out the world’s biggest comparison of Jury verdicts and what the Judge would have decided in each case, analysing 3576 cases. A similar study in the UK covering 500 cases, found Judges had ‘serious doubts’ over 32% acquittals https://eprints.kingston.ac.uk/23/1/Darbyshire-P-23.pdf

You have to watch it.
It is one episode, one hour.

You can download it from Todays top picks, on Skys home page, or catch up.
@HAYSIE
Great stuff, thanks.
Boris got rumbled, Dolly Dewdrop (Truss) got rumbled, hopefully Trump gets rumbled before it's too late too.
