-----------Britain's Most Baffling Murder
The TRUE STORY of accused murderer William Wallace is still discussed in the pubs of North London to this day. The wife of the meek, mild-mannered insurance salesman is brutally murdered. Despite having an iron clad alibi, which the police suspect Wallace set up himself, he is arrested for the crime. His attorney believes he is innocent and seeks the financial aid of Wallace's union. In an unprecedented event, the union holds a mock trial and, after seeing how the defense will be handled, backs Wallace 100%. The real jury, however, finds him guilty. The decision is appealed in a shrewd move by Wallace and he is set free. Was he innocent, or was he an extremely clever man who found a way out of a suffocating marriage? A few subtle facts, undetected by the legal proceedings, give a marvelous twist, which may or may not help the audience decide their own verdict.« less
