Synopsis
Leading criminologist Professor David Wilson and guests reinvestigate Scotland's most notorious miscarriages of justice, looking for the reasons they occur. In this episode, David and guests discuss the use of forensic science in crime detection, looking at its 19th-century origins and more recent use in unresolved murder cases that are decades old. Investigative journalist Fiona Walker presents a short film about the Victorian-era 'Trial of the Century' in which young socialite Madeleine Smith was accused of poisoning her illicit lover with arsenic. Fiona uncovers a wealth of archive evidence, including letters written by Madeleine and the actual bottle of arsenic she purchased that led to her being suspected of murder. However, during her trial one of the world's first forensic experts was called by the defence to cast doubt on whether the poison could have been used in the way the prosecution suggested.
