Reconstructions of famous trials with postscripts by Dudley Perkins
9: Rex v. J. P. Vaquier with Marius Goring
Raymond Huntley , Norman Shelly and Marjorie Westbury
Jean Pierre Vaquier was tried on a charge of poisoning the husband of his alleged mistress. She was the principal witness for the prosecution. He vehemently protested his innocence and made extraordinary allegations both in statements to the police and in his evidence. The jury found him guilty and the Court of Criminal Appeal refused his application to introduce fresh evidence. The case remains a remarkable story of tangled lies. Narrator, Edward Ward
