This documentary dives deep into the investigation and the high-stakes trial of John Alexander Dickman. As the first man in Northern England to face the gallows for a railway murder, Dickman’s fate rested on a controversial new law: the right to testify in his own defense. We explore the shady world of Edwardian gambling, the flaws in circumstantial evidence, and the suspicious police tactics that led to a chilling walk to the scaffold. Was he a cold-blooded killer, or the victim of a fixed identification?
