The Law Show: Jack Merritt's legacy

Jack Merritt's legacy

BBC Radio 4 - The Law Show, Jack Merritt's legacy

Remembering Jack Merritt, murdered in the London Bridge attack a year ago.

Remembering Jack Merritt, who was murdered in the attack at London Bridge in November 2019. He and Saskia Jones, who was also killed, were associated with an offender rehabilitation programme at Cambridge University called Learning Together. The murderer was a former prisoner attending a conference at Fishmongers Hall  to mark its fifth anniversary. Earlier in 2019, Law in Action had interviewed Jack Merritt and some of the prisoners he was supporting at Warren Hill Prison in Suffolk. A year on, we hear about his legacy.
