The Cornerman (part two): Episode 148

The Cornerman (part two): Episode 148

Today’s episode continues my look at the life and crimes of Andy Baker, known as ‘The Cornerman’ for taking a cut of any deal. We look at his rise from working the doors in Surrey, through to murder trials, drugs and extreme violence. It is a story straight out of the movies but this week, his luck runs out as he is finally convicted by a Jury.
