Description:

On November 17, 1961, Arthur Lucas was arrested in Detroit for the alleged killing of two people in Toronto earlier that day. The case was such an easy one that it was suggested that perhaps a slight miscarriage of justice might have taken place.~Producer Patrick Watson discusses the facts of the case with writer Munroe Scott in an attempt to reveal the workings of our justice system and perhaps some of the areas in which this case may have been mishandled.~Other interviewees are: Jack Wythorpe, who is in charge of legal aid in Toronto and Walter Williston, the appeal lawyer in the Lucas case.~The footage also includes: a re-enactment of the murders and a re-enactment of the events leading up to the arrest of Lucas.
