The Judge's Daughter: New declassified files reveal why government ignored the convicted man's innocence 

from The BelTel

Secret papers revealed by the Belfast Telegraph suggest the civil service and government knew Iain Hay Gordon was innocent of the murder of Patricia Curran but continued to cover up the truth. Officials feared that reopening the case could undermine confidence in the judiciary, just months after the UK government deployed troops to deal with the start of the troubles. The release of this latest evidence comes almost two years after The BelTel’s series on the murder of the judge’s daughter.  Ciarán Dunbar is joined by former Belfast Telegraph journalist Stephen Gordon. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
