Dr John Bodkin Adams: The Trial

It wasn’t hard for the police to find the home of Dr John Bodkin Adams when they went to arrest him; there were two Rolls Royces parked outside. One bequeathed to him by a former patient. Bodkin Adams was charged with the murder of Edith Morrell. The Prosecution also reserved the right to proceed with a second charge of murder in the case of Bobbie Hullett. This was significant. At the time there was a new Homicide Bill going through Parliament. A conviction for one murder would mean life imprisonment but a conviction for two or more murders and Bodkin Adams would hang. Though under the careful guidance of Geoffrey Lawrence QC, the case took turns no one could have envisaged.Presenters: Dr Harry Brunjes & Dr Andrew JohnsProducer: Philip WildingEditor: Chelsey MooreSound Design: John ScottExecutive Producer: Jamie East Join The Crime Desk to hear all episodes in series one straight away.
