Then in 1969, a shocking revelation - another vicious attack which bore many of the hallmarks of the murder of Lily Volpert. And the man responsible for that attack was also a vital witness in the case against Mattan. Finally, could the family prove once and for all that Mattan was an innocent man who should never have been sent to the gallows?
