Episode 111: Shirley McKie

This week Joannagh tells us about the case of Shirley McKie, previously alluded to in Episode 108: Marion Ross.
We hear how, during the murder investigation of Marion Ross in which Detective Constable Shirley McKie was assigned, events occurred which would result in Shirley herself being investigated.
Joannagh describes how Shirley fought to prove her innocence by engaging experts who would cast doubt on the evidence against her and ultimately on key evidence of the Marion Ross investigation.
