Suggest you read more about the case. Like I said, it's very likely he killed his daughter.

Aye, back to front. Wife. Probably killed his wife.

On 16 November 2004, Westlake began an application for judicial review in the High Court, challenging a decision by the Criminal Cases Review Commission not to refer Evans's case to the Court of Appeal to have his conviction formally quashed. She argued that Evans's pardon had not formally expunged his conviction of murdering his daughter, and although the Brabin report had concluded that Evans probably did not kill his daughter, it had not declared him innocent. The report also contained the "devastating" conclusion that Evans had probably killed his wife.[31]
 
During his trial, Evans accused his downstairs neighbour, John Christie, who was the chief prosecution witness, of committing the murders.

Three years after Evans's execution, Christie was found to be a serial killer who had murdered several other women in the same house, including his own wife (Ethel). Christie was himself sentenced to death, and while awaiting execution, he confessed to murdering Mrs. Evans. An official inquiry concluded in 1966 that Christie had probably murdered Evans's daughter (Geraldine), and Evans was granted a posthumous pardon. The High Court dismissed proceedings to officially quash Evans's murder conviction in 2004 on the grounds of the cost and resources that would be involved, but acknowledged that Evans did not murder his wife or his daughter.

The case generated much controversy and is acknowledged to be a miscarriage of justice. Along with those of Derek Bentley and Ruth Ellis, the case played a major part in the removal of capital punishment for murder in 1965 and, later, its abolition for all crimes.[1]


Are you in denial or something? Or don't want to accept that sometimes they execute a innocent man?

Seriously...are you touched? How about you continue reading that very same page instead of selectively missing out the part I've quoted to you.

No, I just bothered to include the Brabin report as evidence, something you're clearly not.

And pretty biased source don't you think? I think you don't want to accept they executed a innocent man to support your agenda.

Pretty sure plenty of black Americans executed also and really innocent (framed by racist cops)
