I want to take you back in time to the early and mid 1900s and tell you about the infamous Jamaican cricket player, Leslie Hylton. He was hanged to death for murder in 1955. So how does he go from a successful West Indies cricketer to the gallows? If you want to know than join me as I tell you how his life changed from impoverished orphan, to international fame, and ultimately a death sentence. It's a tale as old time, will this be the cautionary tale that you learn from?
