A series which takes up the cause of people fighting for a fair deal.
Magnus Magnusson examines The Case of Stephen: Sentenced for Life?
Stephen is seventeen. A year ago he was convicted of assaulting a twelve-year-old girl, a crime that everyone who knows him says he could never have committed. But he was found guilty. Now he is detained in a mental hospital 'for an unlimited period' possibly for life.
What happened at the trial of Stephen? Why did he 'confess' when his parents say he was miles away at the time? What can he do to escape from his 'sentence for life'?
