BBC series 'Rillington Place' has details you can use for Capital Punishment (miscarriage of justice leading to execution of Timothy Evans) and episode 2 also includes reference to a 'backstreet' abortion (the type you can use in your evaluation of the issue of abortion. i.e. if abortion had been legal, then women would not have needed to resort to the services of illegal abortionists).
When was Timothy Evans’ name finally cleared?
In 2003 the Home Office’s independent assessor, Lorn Brennan QC
declared that “the conviction of Timothy Evans is now recognised to have been
one of the most notorious, if not the most notorious, miscarriages of justice.”
“There is no evidence to implicate Timothy Evans in the
murder of his wife”, he continued. “She was most probably murdered by
Christie.”
