Expert Witness

An expert witness uses fibre analysis to convict a man who had previously been found not guilty of an execution-style murder in Reading, Berkshire in 1993. After 26 years in prison, a man walks free when a forensic scientist links DNA to the real killer. In 1986, the body of 22-year-old Teresa de Simone was found in her car outside a pub in Southampton, she had been raped and strangled. Petty thief and prison inmate Sean Hodgson confessed to her murder but later retracted his confession. He was found guilty and wrongly imprisoned for 26 years.
