About this episode

The episode discusses the murder charges against three suspects and the betrayal that impacts the court case.

After police swoop on their suspects, Evan 'Teddy' Clarke, Phil Treffene and William Coulter are charged with the murder. But one of these men will turn against the others, with brilliant barrister Arthur Haynes using this betrayal as a chisel with which to chip away at the crown case.  See Forgotten Australia live!
