Abstract
In 1994 mother-of-two, Pamela Lawrence, was murdered in her upmarket jewellery shop. The police were under intense pressure to find her killer and they zeroed in on a daydreaming drifter with a history of mental illness, Andrew Mallard.
Andrew Mallard would make one of the most unorthodox "confessions" in the annals of criminal justice and virtually every single part of the justice system fell down.
He would spend 12 years in prison until a palm print and a pig's head — and exhaustive efforts by family and supporters — would exonerate him.
