The parole board makes a decision about Colin, convicted of a brutal murder 25 years ago.

54-year-old Colin committed a brutal murder 25 years ago. With his victim's widow waiting anxiously for the decision, will the parole board decide that he is safe to be let back into the community?

Fifty-four-year-old Colin committed a brutal murder following a pub fight. Twenty-five years later, he has a chance to be released from prison. With his victim's widow waiting anxiously at home for the decision, will the parole board decide that he is safe to be let back into the community?  
 
Fifty-eight-year-old David spent 40 years swindling thousands of pounds out of women he dated. A serial fraudster, he left a stream of women not only financially damaged, but in some cases psychologically affected too. Can he convince the parole board he is a changed man, or does the panel think they are just being shown his skills of persuasion?
