#168 Wrongful Conviction: False Confessions - The Birmingham Six

The thing about torture is that it works, at least if your only goal is to find a scapegoat.

Laura Nirider and Steve Drizin take us to Birmingham, England. In 1972, two pubs were bombed, and six innocent Irish men were tortured into giving false confessions. The Birmingham Six were freed in 1991, but the crime’s never been solved. To this day, the public demands to know who really planted those bombs.
