@markus122piesuckers Yeah, sorry there's no heavy metal soundtrack or dancing cats, but this is a serious news documentary on a misacrriage of justice. What were you expecting?
i remember my mam telling me the story of Craig and Bentley when i was 10yrs i found it hard to belive at that age,It was a gross miscarrige of justice,The British govt had to take revenge for the copper that craig killed. D.Bentley R.I.P shame on the police who knew he was innocent of murder, GodBless Iris Bentley who never stopped her campain for her brother Derek.
@mara66M agreed i fond out recently i am a relative of Peter Manuel killed by the UKs evi ljustice system when he was clearly having mental difficulties if we restore hanging tis may well happen again another Derek Bentley and we cannot afford that RIP
@jw2456 The problem was that Bentley said "Let him have it", and this could be taken either way- in the form of popular western films at the time, where "let him have it" was a phrase meaning to shoot, or he could have meant "give the gun to him". I personally believe that Bentley should never have been executed as he was not the one who committed the crime and should never have "carried the can" for his accomplice.
@UsagiDreams Firstly I don't quite understand what you mean by calling me a "bell". Secondly I was just trying to point out about why it was such a mess.
thats the british justice for you i just hope all the bentleys R.I.P

The police lied just so they could hang a man with the mental age of eight, Derek Bentley was stitched-up because Chris Craig was too young to hang.

The BBC reconstruction is biased. Derek wanted him to give the gun to the police officer and Bentley showed no sign of struggle.
