Episode 102: John Haley

Welcome to episode 102, in which Claire takes another journey back to the early days of Tasmania and tells the story of ex-convict turned serial killer John Haley. Also known as Four-Fingered Scotty, he went on a murderous rampage in 1861, but there were rumours he may have actually killed many more... And the account of his botched execution is nearly as horrible as the acts he committed to earn his spot on the gallows. Then Ben finishes things off with a countdown of the longest and shortest jail sentences ever delivered around the world, and the reasons behind them.If you would like to reach out please email [email protected]
