Reply #4: Timothy Evans [View All]

[Arkham House]

This was in Britain, but it's a famous case...Timothy Evans was convicted and hung for the murder of his wife. Later, it was discovered that his landlord, John Christie, was a psychotic murderer who killed about a dozen women, including Mrs Evans. Evans received a posthumous pardon...this was a huge *cause celebre* in the UK about 50 years ago, and was directly responsible for the abolition of capital punishment there. In myHopinion, Bruno Richard Hauptmann was certainly innocent, and Sacco/Vanzetti probably were--but it's never been proven...
