In 2022, ten teenage boys were jailed for plotting “revenge attacks” on a group chat in response to the murder of their friend. In this episode, Marnie speaks to a campaigner about why she believes the boys’ grief was co-opted and constructed into something it wasn’t. Read more about the story at www.justicegap.com

In 2013, Alex Henry was sentenced to a minimum of nineteen years under joint enterprise for a stabbing he didn’t do. In this episode, we speak to his sister Charlotte Henry about why she believes Alex has been discriminated against. 

In 2009, Mark “Ozzy” Osbourne was convicted of murder, despite the fact that he was in prison for an unrelated lesser offence when the killing occurred. In this episode, we speak to his childhood neighbour Julie about what she believes really happened. 

In 2017, four men were jailed for life for planning a terrorist attack after being caught in an undercover police sting. Their lawyers insist that their case continues to raise troubling questions about the behaviour of the police. In this episode, Marnie travels to Birmingham to find out why. 

Robin Garbutt and his wife Diana lived a quiet life running a post office in the idyllic village of Melsonby, North Yorkshire. That was until 2010, when Diana was murdered in their home. In this episode, we attempt to uncover what really happened, and question whether findings from the Post Office Inquiry could shed new light on the case.

We’re taught to believe that our justice system is fair. That everyone is equal in the eyes of the law. That it’s almost impossible for an innocent person to go to prison for a crime they didn't commit. But what if that isn’t the case? These are the stories of people who maintain they’re innocent and yet remain in prison, fighting unimaginable odds to win justice in a system that – many would say – is rigged against them. This podcast tells the stories of those on the outside, fighting to free those on the inside. Welcome to The Overturn. Produced and hosted by Marnie Duke with support from The Future Justice Project.
