This breathtakingly ambitious show tells the story of the 1913 trial of Leo Frank, a gross miscarriage of justice that culminated in his antisemitic lynching.

Brian describes the help from his MP as a "step forward", not just for him but for other victims of a miscarriage of justice.

However, following a small but significant law change in 2014, if a victim of a miscarriage of justice in England and Wales wants to receive compensation, they must not only be cleared, but also demonstrate they are innocent - in effect "reversing the burden of proof", according to Brian's barrister, Stephen Vullo KC.

There are now growing calls for the 2014 law to be reversed so a person would only need to show they had been a victim of a miscarriage of justice to receive compensation.
