Inside Story 1991 сезон 11 серия — Presumed Guilty

Presumed Guilty. In the wake of the Birmingham Six appeal, Michael Mansfield , QC, a leading defence barrister, reveals exclusively to Inside Story his radical proposals for transforming the criminal justice system.
Mansfield maintains that the scale and frequency of miscarriages shows them to be an integral part of the system and, through the testimonies of people who have suffered injustice, demonstrates that a person's right to be thought innocent until proven guilty has been eroded. Taking the best from the French and American systems, Mansfield constructs an alternative for
Britain that is based on reaffirming this right.
