Episode 15: Susan May - The Long Fight

Susan May left prison in 2005 having served twelve years. Her conviction was intact. She had refused, throughout, to say she was guilty of something she maintained she had not done — and the system had made her pay for that refusal at every turn. This episode covers what came next: the appeals, the scientists, the politicians, and three applications to the Criminal Cases Review Commission. Twenty years of fighting. The conviction was never overturned. Susan May died in October 2013.
