Trial And Error 1992 (1993)

1992: Sheila Bowler, charged with murder and sentenced to life imprisonment for the killing of her husband's 89-year old aunt. When the two women went for a drive together, Mrs. Bowler says the car got into trouble, so she went for help, and upon returning the elder lady had gone. She was later found floating in the river. However, doubt is cast by the difficulty Mrs. Bowler, not a young woman herself, would have had in manoeuvring a lady who apparently could only walk with the aid of a frame and pushing her in, all in pitch darkness.

1981: Raymond Gilmour, charged with murder and sentenced to life imprisonment under Scottish law, after the violent assault and killing of 16-year old schoolgirl Pamela Hastie in Rannoch woods in Johnstone, Renfrewshire. Gilmour admitted to the crime, but was this just because he was a timid, eager-to-please lad? His description of the events did not even appear to match the evidence, but the police had a 100% clear-up rate which they did not want to break. And with a previous history as a flasher, Gilmour could have been an ideal candidate.
