Summary

I welcome investigative reporter Louise Shorter to the show in this interview episode.⁣

Louise is a former producer/director of BBC TV's long-running miscarriage of justice investigative series 'Rough Justice'.

She founded 'Inside Justice' in 2010, a registered charity that has built a wholly unique advisory panel of world-renowned experts who work pro bono to strengthen the criminal justice system.

In her new show 'Wrongly Accused', Louise will meet the wrongly accused, the family members involved, and those close to the case. Then, Louise and a group of experts will interrogate how the wrongs were corrected from the original trial to put the real killer behind bars.

This ground-breaking new true crime series looks at both sides of some of the greatest miscarriages of justice in British criminal history.

'Wrongly Accused' premieres on CBS Reality on March 21, 2023, at 10 pm (GMT) and continues Tuesdays at 10 pm (GMT).

CBS Reality can be found on the following channels:

Sky 146

Freeview 67

Virgin Media 148

Freesat 135
