| 0:07.0 | So here's what we've been doing at British Gas. Over the past year, we've given 50 million |
| 0:13.2 | pounds in energy debt support, including grants to help with bills, and we're keeping |

| 0:31.3 | In the 1999 movie True Crime, based on Andrew Clavans' novel of the same name, there's |
| 0:36.4 | a dramatic ending. Frank Beach misceduled to be executed, and Clint Eastwood's journalist |

| 1:18.9 | there's also reason to believe that his execution might be halted, and you might be able to help. |
| 1:23.7 | Hi, this is Colin Miller. I'm an associate dean and professor at the University of South |

| 1:32.6 | Williams. Let's start this special episode by going back to 1998. On August 11th, 1998, |
| 1:39.4 | Felicia Gale was murdered in her home in University City. The rug in the house had been vacuumed |
| 1:44.2 | 11 days before the murder. Gale had 43 stab wounds, which were inflicted by a kitchen knife |
