Blame Judge in Beck Case Second Conviction of Innocent Man
London reports a committee of inquiry blames Judge Sir Forrest Fulton for a miscarriage of justice in Adolf Beck’s 1896 trial. It says lack of coordination among authorities and ignorance of key facts by police and prosecutors led to Beck’s 1904 conviction for obtaining money and jewels.
