:00:12. > :00:17.Tonight's scandal upon scandal after the banks the MPs,

:00:17. > :00:23.journalists the media and its moguls, have we lost faith in the

:00:23. > :00:27.country's institutions? Another inquiry's launched the

:00:27. > :00:36.Serious Fraud Office will put their spotlight on Barclays. What trust

:00:36. > :00:40.do people have on the elite. With more to come with Leveson is this

:00:40. > :00:44.country facing a Profuma moment. face a Christian writer, and author

:00:44. > :00:51.on the new book on the establishment to debate the

:00:51. > :00:56.direction of the country's porl compass. Also, 26 years in a Miami

:00:56. > :01:01.crime the evidence suggests he didn't commit. The explosive new

:01:01. > :01:11.details that point to the innocence of Kris Maharaj. I wake up and ask

:01:11. > :01:13.

:01:13. > :01:19.why am I in here, I committed no Hello good evening. They're serving

:01:19. > :01:25.strawberries and cream at Wimbledon, but if you're looking for

:01:25. > :01:32.consistency, it is getting harder. The Barclays saga has Tyrone the

:01:32. > :01:36.upper everyone lons into a panic. It is the latest series that put

:01:36. > :01:40.the journ journalists, BBC and others in the spotlight. Tonight we

:01:40. > :01:46.ask has something changeed in your oat. Have we become more morally

:01:46. > :01:55.lax? Or was it ever thus. There's flash photography in Paul Mason's

:01:55. > :01:59.report. Banks, busted. Reputations, in flames. He impugned my integrity.

:01:59. > :02:05.Politicians outed and serious expenses scamers, the biggest

:02:05. > :02:09.selling tabloid destroyed by phone hacking and now it is banks again,

:02:09. > :02:13.Barclays, escaped nationalisation, leadership eadvice rateed over the

:02:13. > :02:17.libel scandal. What started four years ago, as a financial crisis

:02:17. > :02:23.has now moved into a crisis of confidence in the whole

:02:23. > :02:29.establishment. They still serve strawberries at Wimbledon and cream.

:02:29. > :02:33.But there's a sour taste everywhere. In the past week, we've seen the

:02:34. > :02:38.British establishment illustrate a panic, the Treasury, the FSA the

:02:38. > :02:44.Bank of England, all struggling to avoid being dragged into the libel

:02:44. > :02:49.scandal. But beneath that, there may be something bigger going on,

:02:49. > :02:54.not the death of deference but political and financial elite

:02:54. > :03:00.losing control of the story. Who is this. If you're under 50, you will

:03:00. > :03:05.struggle to remember. But John Profumo, Tories Defence Minister,

:03:05. > :03:10.gave the name to the last establishment crisis. Profumo slept

:03:10. > :03:14.with a call girl who slept with a Russian spy. But as the case

:03:14. > :03:19.unravelled, the public had a glimpse how the Britain had be run

:03:19. > :03:24.and they didn't like it. Today they're getting more a glimpse, the

:03:24. > :03:29.day after day the Leveson Inquiry is making media mow gulls and

:03:29. > :03:38.ministers squirm. Did you see her every weekend or most weekends in

:03:38. > :03:46.the peshed 2008, 2009. Not every weekend. Most weekends. Ex.

:03:46. > :03:52.News Corp scandal finished the careers of police top man and could

:03:53. > :03:57.go further. Go it go further. A senior police woman reveals this.

:03:57. > :04:03.It has a connected network of officials. I don't mean the

:04:03. > :04:10.officials are in contact with each other, more that, the journalists

:04:10. > :04:14.had a network upon which to call, at various strategic places across

:04:14. > :04:18.public life. Criminal proceedings are now under way, against senior

:04:18. > :04:22.figures in the News Corp empire. But journalists, already low in

:04:22. > :04:28.public esteem are no longer the lowest. Recent research, now puts

:04:28. > :04:32.bankers at the top of the league of the distrusted. 78% of the

:04:32. > :04:37.questioned assume bankers are generally lying. The figure is 77%

:04:37. > :04:40.for politicians, 74% for journalists and 59% for business

:04:41. > :04:48.leaders, so far, of all the beleaguered groups the police

:04:48. > :04:54.remain most trusted. Just 26% assume copse are routinely lying.

:04:54. > :05:01.As the crisis morped from banking to politics to policing, it is

:05:01. > :05:06.coinciding with social break down, like last summer's righting, gangs,

:05:06. > :05:09.criminals purveyors of stolen goods and those prepared to buy them. But

:05:09. > :05:14.the more people look at the top echelons of society the more they

:05:14. > :05:18.see networks of influence, that cross over into rule-breaking and

:05:18. > :05:26.outright crime. Today, the Serious Fraud Office

:05:27. > :05:32.stkw a U-turn deciding to investigate what it calls "lie

:05:32. > :05:36.bother matters", namely Barclays. It is worth remembering what

:05:36. > :05:41.happened last time the SFO investigated a major British

:05:41. > :05:50.institution. When it came to prosecuting, Britain's biggest arms

:05:51. > :05:55.making rer for bribeing allegedly Saudi laws, took second rate, and

:05:55. > :06:02.the rich and powerful got away with it. But Britain, in the meantime

:06:02. > :06:10.has become very intolerant of untram Meled power. Our economics

:06:10. > :06:19.editor. With me to discuss this, Neil Hamilton, the former Tory MP

:06:19. > :06:25.who lost his seat, own Jones, Richard Sharp and Anne scan Atkins

:06:25. > :06:28.is a Christian writer. When we look at this, Owen, scandal

:06:28. > :06:33.of scandal, do you think anything has fundamentally changed?

:06:33. > :06:39.Absolutely. I think our democracy faced a real crisis. These are not

:06:39. > :06:42.a few bad eggs, and shreds diamonds who can be thrown to the media

:06:42. > :06:47.packs. We are seeing the consequences over 0 years or more

:06:47. > :06:50.of a shifpt of power to those at the top, and increasingly,

:06:50. > :06:53.unaccountable elite. Take the masses of the universe like the

:06:53. > :06:58.gentleman opposite me and the role they've had in plunging the world

:06:58. > :07:02.into the biggest economic crisis for a hundred years, that's the

:07:02. > :07:07.consequences of three decades of de-regulation, untram Meled

:07:07. > :07:10.economics, for example the Big Bang under Thatcher. If we're talking

:07:10. > :07:15.about politicians I'm sat nexttor a trail blazeer of politicians

:07:15. > :07:21.disgraced, but what we saw with the Spencer scandal is MPs would

:07:21. > :07:26.rationalise it and say look at comparable professions and look at

:07:26. > :07:30.what they're paid for, and people rooted in their careers, they were

:07:30. > :07:35.a career isolated from those who they represented. Do you agree with

:07:35. > :07:39.the stphrns Not sure the reasons, necessarily, I'm not saying they're

:07:39. > :07:45.also contributory. I agree it goes further than the last two or three

:07:45. > :07:49.years. I think this goes right through the 20th century. A number

:07:49. > :07:54.of reasons, one, think I the obvious one is decline of faith

:07:54. > :07:59.over the last hundred years, which inevitably effects our values. I

:07:59. > :08:03.think back to my father's or grandfather's generation, to cheat

:08:03. > :08:07.on tax was unthinkable for a gentleman. You just wouldn't do

:08:07. > :08:12.that. And that, whole sense of honour and integrity has been

:08:12. > :08:15.watered down, and people don't, one of the things we lost is

:08:15. > :08:19.interesting we referred to the rights, you referred to the rights.

:08:19. > :08:24.One of the things we've lost over the last generation is a sense of

:08:24. > :08:27.shame. Now you might say that's a good thing A young girl who gets

:08:27. > :08:31.pregnant doesn't have the terrible shame that drove some to suicide.

:08:31. > :08:35.That's a good thing. But on the other hand, there's a sense that it

:08:35. > :08:39.doesn't matter if I get caught out because I can reinvent myself.

:08:39. > :08:43.There was a time, if you were found doing something like that, it was

:08:43. > :08:49.so awful you wouldn't do it. Your profession, you just had the finger

:08:49. > :08:53.point at you, do you feel that you have to constantly justify the

:08:53. > :08:58.banking trade now, or can you say, banking has always been about the

:08:58. > :09:03.need to maximise profit, and people never complained that in the past?

:09:03. > :09:08.Well, I'd like to pick what Anne was saying, values are very

:09:08. > :09:15.important. We've seen capitalism, and we've had examples of Cadbury's,

:09:15. > :09:20.or Barclays at its origin, with Quaker roots. Where capitalism can

:09:20. > :09:26.be inco-operateed in a way it integrates and provides a service

:09:26. > :09:31.to the community. Clearly, there have been changes taking place as

:09:31. > :09:37.part of the global growth which led to consequences which effect the

:09:37. > :09:43.whole community and question... It begs a questions about governance,

:09:43. > :09:49.the issue isn't one, I'm not clear what Owen was getting at but it is

:09:49. > :09:54.not the direction, the direction is one of gochnans and values that you

:09:54. > :09:57.have organisations, you have organisations, with approximate

:09:57. > :10:00.degree of transparency and atability and leadership is based

:10:00. > :10:04.around values which goes beyond slogans on the wall or an newly

:10:04. > :10:08.report. It goes to actually the way those companies operate. And many,

:10:08. > :10:13.many companies do, and many people in those companies do operate

:10:13. > :10:17.properly. I'm wondering, it must be 20 years of the controversy or

:10:17. > :10:22.scandal whatever you call it, made you lose your seat. Do you look at

:10:22. > :10:26.this, and laugh at the idea any of this is new or something we're

:10:26. > :10:30.noticing now. Owen has no sense of history or knowledge, because the

:10:30. > :10:36.history of company law, going back to 1720, is about financial

:10:36. > :10:43.scandals and frauds, in the City. And, nobody would have known from

:10:43. > :10:45.what he said, about this being due to the Big Bang and Thatcher, the

:10:45. > :10:50.events involving Barclays occurred under Gordon Brown's leadership,

:10:50. > :10:54.and he was the man who was going to restore the moral compass to

:10:54. > :11:00.British politics after Tony Blair. You've had your say, I'll have mine.

:11:00. > :11:04.We've seen it before in all generations. A hundred ago we had

:11:04. > :11:08.the Marconi scandal. If we've seen it all before, does it mean these

:11:08. > :11:16.things just come up and go away again and everyone forgets them or

:11:16. > :11:21.does it mean we're steadily on a downward path? Every generation has

:11:21. > :11:26.to relearn the mistakes of predecessors. What was different

:11:26. > :11:29.after the experience of the great depression, backlash of laissez

:11:29. > :11:33.faire economics, which had a disastrous similar situation is

:11:34. > :11:38.constraints were put on people at the top. Wealth and power faced

:11:38. > :11:43.constraints which they never had previously had, if it was higher

:11:43. > :11:48.taxes, we have greater stability now. Because of Thatcherism, those

:11:48. > :11:54.constraints were stripped away and those why we end newspaper this

:11:54. > :12:04.mess. Is it right, would you of liked more governance, do you say

:12:04. > :12:08.we were unable to regulate ourselves as bankers? You know, it

:12:08. > :12:12.was queried in terms of historical understanding. If you go back to

:12:13. > :12:16.before Thatcher, we had state enterities which were hardly fit

:12:17. > :12:21.for service. You wouldn't remember the gas or electricity board, the

:12:22. > :12:25.failure for people to get a telephone What does this have to do

:12:25. > :12:30.with the financial sector in the economic crisis. You do have a

:12:31. > :12:34.point, because what we have now is socialism for the rich. Banks

:12:35. > :12:39.bailed out by the taxpayer, we should have no tax yeas for

:12:39. > :12:43.representation. They should be represented on the boards. Anne,

:12:43. > :12:48.one argument is if you shine a light on any industry, close up and

:12:48. > :12:52.look at any industry, things are are acceptable to people who work

:12:52. > :12:55.in that industry, aren't? One of the things that changed is there's

:12:55. > :12:58.more information out there. Prince Charles, just to get personal,

:12:58. > :13:03.thought he could get away with the lifestyle of his grandfather, you

:13:03. > :13:06.can't because of the newspapers, there's a sense in which that is

:13:06. > :13:11.the case, Richard has an interesting point. Going to the

:13:11. > :13:15.Quaker roots of these some of the institutions, a friend of mine has

:13:15. > :13:19.his own investment company he said the difference between the Quakers,

:13:19. > :13:23.the believeing Quakers, some of the cliepts, and he says to them, would

:13:23. > :13:28.you like, you can avoid tax, this way, and they go, no, we want to

:13:28. > :13:33.pay the tax and contribute to society. When you lose that when

:13:33. > :13:37.you're not accountable to God and only your neighbour, if your

:13:37. > :13:46.neighbour doesn't know, it doesn't matter. That is a bizarre argument.

:13:46. > :13:51.When we had far Christian ethics, we had the more yars of kensyism,

:13:51. > :13:56.the civil war which religion played a key role. In what sense did faith

:13:57. > :14:01.constrain people. In the 19th century, which was a century of

:14:01. > :14:05.great faith, after the 18th there was a revival, it was the Vic tore

:14:05. > :14:10.gran, the Dickens, fighting that kind of thing, which they inherit

:14:10. > :14:17.from a century. It was the Victorians who put and an end to

:14:17. > :14:21.child labour, it was the Victorians, who were the great feminists.

:14:21. > :14:26.Are we actually, losing your faith in these institutions, this is the

:14:26. > :14:30.question we started with, or are we accepting these things happen? Just

:14:30. > :14:34.to remind people, after the enormous demonstrations, following

:14:35. > :14:39.the Iraq war, everyone voted Tony Blair back into power. Do you think

:14:39. > :14:41.people have long or short memories. It is a fact in current

:14:41. > :14:46.circumstances, obviously people are less trusting of institutions than

:14:46. > :14:50.they were a few years ago, because of all the scandal What do they

:14:50. > :14:53.trust instead? It is a factor of the human condition, there will be

:14:53. > :14:58.frauds and incompetence in all generations. And nothing is new

:14:58. > :15:02.about any of this. What I find so extraordinary, is that people like

:15:02. > :15:07.Owen are prepared to put faith in regulators and governments to stop

:15:07. > :15:11.these things happen. The Financial Services Authority, knew about all

:15:11. > :15:15.these libel things. And yet they wafted them through. The Gordon

:15:15. > :15:20.Brown with the moral xas was our Prime Minister. Ed balls was the

:15:20. > :15:26.man who designed the system of regulation. You're right. What New

:15:26. > :15:32.Labour did was accept the thaix right consensus which was de-

:15:32. > :15:37.regulation of free market economics. But the fear I have as a critic if

:15:37. > :15:44.you like of the establishment is what we will get resignation, pass

:15:44. > :15:48.sift, people saying they're all in it together. To quote an African

:15:48. > :15:54.American, power concedes nothing without a demand. It takes pressure

:15:54. > :15:59.from below. A lot of what Owen is aiming at is fair. The issue is,

:15:59. > :16:03.what is a better system. That is where he has a problem, because,

:16:03. > :16:09.there isn't a better system, certainly not one which actually

:16:09. > :16:15.has power to politicians, and bureaucrats without accountability.

:16:15. > :16:20.So the problems we've had in terms of how the economy evolved is

:16:20. > :16:24.certainly one where capitalism has its plaus. The issue that you have,

:16:24. > :16:27.is really to construct a better model which really works. Say for

:16:27. > :16:30.example you talked about putting people on the boards. So the

:16:30. > :16:35.question of who should be on the board is who is qualified to do is

:16:35. > :16:40.a better job. Because the people own these companies. The banks:.

:16:40. > :16:44.Just proving, you don't think it would work to have members of the

:16:44. > :16:52.public sitting on boards? Any individuals who are qualified.

:16:52. > :16:57.You're saying yes. We own RBS and some of the banks, and yet...

:16:57. > :17:04.democratic control. OK,. There is corruption and always be a problem.

:17:04. > :17:08.Where I don't agree is we've had eras and periods when you can leave

:17:08. > :17:12.your house unlocked. I don't want a savoury tea receipt, it is a waste

:17:12. > :17:17.of time, but we live in a society, to answer your question, we have

:17:17. > :17:22.lost faith. Is it time for a new order? We've got, inquiries,

:17:22. > :17:27.resignations, arrests all the rest of it. Is something going to change.

:17:27. > :17:33.Why people want the inquiries, particularly the ones who are led

:17:33. > :17:39.by judges who, have no idea of commercial world, is kicking the

:17:39. > :17:43.ball in the long grass. Ed balls wants that, because he was the guru

:17:43. > :17:50.when these things happened. The banks should be allow today go bust,

:17:50. > :17:53.if they lost enough shareholders money. The implicity taxpayer

:17:53. > :17:58.guarantee, create an era of irresponsibility.

:17:58. > :18:03.Look, I don't have a problem, that's why the too big to fail

:18:03. > :18:08.issue is an issue, why Owen understandably speaks for people,

:18:08. > :18:11.because taxpayers feel they've bailed out the banks. Thank you. A

:18:11. > :18:16.British businessman's approaching his 26th year in jail in Florida

:18:16. > :18:19.for a double murder he denies. A major investigation by Newsnight

:18:19. > :18:22.eight years ago, found evidence suggesting that Kris Maharaj was

:18:22. > :18:27.framed. Now this programme brings more material to light which

:18:27. > :18:37.independence kaits the man is innocent. Will he ever win a

:18:37. > :18:53.

:18:53. > :19:03.retrail? This piece constains trong I went through hell. They're

:19:03. > :19:08.

:19:08. > :19:16.killing me slowly for 25-plus years. I did nothing wrong.

:19:16. > :19:22.What am I doing here in the name of God? How do you measure time after

:19:22. > :19:27.26 years in a foreign jail? Do you count the days, the decades, your

:19:27. > :19:34.own shift from middle to old age, for Saturdays until you next see

:19:34. > :19:44.your wife, the minutes until lunch. The hours between pills, the lost

:19:44. > :19:50.

:19:50. > :19:56.appeals. How long does it feel to you, that you've been in prison

:19:56. > :20:01.for? It is 26 years, it seems like 2,000 years to me. Every day is

:20:01. > :20:05.like a year for me. You have to take one day at a time, otherwise

:20:05. > :20:13.you go insane. Now there's more evidence suggesting that it's been

:20:13. > :20:23.26 years in jail, as an innocent man. Is this dynamite information?

:20:23. > :20:33.Of course it was. Of course it was. And Kris Maharaj was the fall guy.

:20:33. > :20:38.

:20:38. > :20:43.Hi Kris, very good to see you again. Times were good in the '80s, having

:20:43. > :20:53.made a fortune importing fruit, Kris divided their time between

:20:53. > :20:55.

:20:55. > :21:00.London and Miami. South Florida itself, was teetering. Swamped by

:21:00. > :21:10.cocaine a brutal turf war between Colombians and Cubans were played

:21:10. > :21:11.

:21:11. > :21:21.out on the streets of Miami. Dickry, Dickry, dock, you joust got busted.

:21:21. > :21:28.Maharajs, from oblivious, life was eye depilic until this happened.

:21:28. > :21:34.double homicide happened. Father and son, der Rick and Duane Moo

:21:34. > :21:38.Young were found dead. That was on October, 16th1986, the next day,

:21:38. > :21:41.Kris Maharaj was arrested. Within a year, he was on Death Row. When

:21:42. > :21:45.they said I was convicted, I faipbtd, I thought it was

:21:45. > :21:54.impossible to get convicted for murder, something you didn't do, so

:21:54. > :21:58.I faipbtd in the court. - fainted. I've been coming to Florida, on and

:21:58. > :22:02.off for taen years, reporting on Kris's case, I can't get my head

:22:02. > :22:07.around why he's never had a re- trial. What looked like a fairly

:22:07. > :22:14.open and shut case at first glance is anything but the more you dig

:22:14. > :22:19.into it. He had a gun in one hand and a pillow, cushion in the other

:22:19. > :22:23.hand. Firstly the prosecutions only eyewitness, Neville Butler said he

:22:23. > :22:30.saw Kris shoot the victims in front of him. Yet he's changed his story

:22:30. > :22:37.and failed a polly graph. There's also the fact that at the very time

:22:37. > :22:45.of the murders, six people testifyed that Kris was 30 miles

:22:45. > :22:51.away in Fort Lauderdale. You saw him twice, between 11 and noon?

:22:51. > :22:55.have no doubt. I haven't any doubt at all. Not one of the six alibi

:22:55. > :22:59.witnesses testified at Kris's trial at which the judge was arrested on

:22:59. > :23:02.day three, and led away in handcuffs, charged with taking a

:23:02. > :23:08.bribe in another case. Then there are the extraordinary questions

:23:08. > :23:12.about a man with a gun, and silenceer. An old colleague of this

:23:12. > :23:20.man, Adam Hussain told me on the day of the murders, a gun and

:23:21. > :23:25.Hussein's desk. What did he say to you? That it would solve the bunch

:23:25. > :23:32.of his problems, he had come into money, a couple of hundred thousand

:23:32. > :23:37.dollars, cocaine and what have you, and that he'd had to eliminate

:23:38. > :23:42.people to do it. When I tracked him down for Newsnight he wasn't keen

:23:42. > :23:48.to talk. People talk to you in association? I don't care. Can you

:23:48. > :23:52.explain to me. I don't locking care, do you understand me. No. Can you

:23:52. > :23:57.explain why:. Speaking to him is more the police have ever done.

:23:57. > :24:01.Doubts over the main prosecution witness, the six alibis not called

:24:01. > :24:06.to court, judge arrested three days into trial, the question of the gun

:24:06. > :24:10.and silenceer, enough to convince, two former UK attorney generals

:24:10. > :24:15.this does look like a miscarriage of justice. Enough to have the

:24:15. > :24:25.death sentence commuted to 50 years, for a 73-year-old. But not enough

:24:25. > :24:27.

:24:28. > :24:37.to win a re-trial to present the new evidence. I wake up 4 and 30am,

:24:37. > :24:43.I have to go for insulin. After I had the insulin, all of us go to

:24:43. > :24:50.the room to eat breakfast, and 46 of us go back to the dorm. Four

:24:50. > :24:58.feet away you have a bunk, and another bunk, and one, two, three,

:24:58. > :25:02.four over the bunk. I don't spend time thinking when I get outside, I

:25:02. > :25:07.just get depressed if you care to put it that way, thinking of the

:25:07. > :25:12.life I have before, and why I'm in here. I think God, why am I in here,

:25:12. > :25:18.I did nothing wrong. Since I saw you and the appeal failed, the

:25:18. > :25:24.defence have digging into your case, and they turned up new leads

:25:24. > :25:34.suggesting that you are innocent and one of the most compelling, is

:25:34. > :25:39.

:25:39. > :25:42.The testimony of Tino Geddes was truly damning. After the murders,

:25:42. > :25:46.he said he was with Kris at the time, he was innocent.

:25:46. > :25:51.And then he fliped before trial, testifying that Kris his actually

:25:51. > :26:01.been schemeing to murder the Moo Youngs. The whole thing was played

:26:01. > :26:02.

:26:02. > :26:11.out. As he had planned it. When I was with him. At the same venue, at

:26:11. > :26:18.the same hotel. What made this star witness flip? More clues are

:26:18. > :26:28.emerging from teeno's home town in King ton. We found out the

:26:28. > :26:30.

:26:30. > :26:34.prosecutors in the Raj Raj case flew over to clear Tino's case he

:26:34. > :26:44.was having, a few bullet. Tino Geddes is now dead. And his lawyer

:26:44. > :26:44.

:26:44. > :26:48.from the time, is now more forthcoming. He was charged with

:26:48. > :26:53.importation of firearms and I think there were, might have been other

:26:53. > :26:57.charges. It transpires, Tino Geddes was facing charges of bringing guns,

:26:57. > :27:03.ammunition and silenceers into Jamaica, and faced a potential life

:27:03. > :27:10.sentence. What sentence did he actually receive? He got a non-cuss

:27:10. > :27:16.toadal sentence. There was a fine. On the charges. But, no

:27:16. > :27:21.imprisonment. He must have been surprised? I was delighted. I was

:27:21. > :27:24.delighted. Do you think the prosecutors coming down on the

:27:24. > :27:30.Maharaj case to testify made the difference? Between him going to

:27:30. > :27:34.jail and not going to jail? Well let us put it this way, I

:27:34. > :27:42.considered at that time that it might have made a difference, and

:27:42. > :27:49.that is why I called him. You've got a safe, any Tino Geddes in

:27:49. > :27:54.here? Nothing of value. It is ornamental. No confessions from

:27:54. > :28:01.Tino. No not at all. Your knowledge of Geddes and you went to his

:28:01. > :28:05.funeral and you were friends with him. Why do you think he flipped

:28:06. > :28:12.from being an alibi for Kris Maharaj to being the prosecution's

:28:12. > :28:17.key witness? That is a question I cannot answer. I cannot penetrate

:28:17. > :28:23.with the content of the human mind. I cannot faith tham the motivations

:28:23. > :28:28.of human may have your. I don't know. I suppose an argument could

:28:28. > :28:38.have been advanced, that there was some form of inducement or pressure.

:28:38. > :28:42.

:28:42. > :28:49.I went to tell Ron Petrillo the E cop at the time that Tino Geddes

:28:49. > :28:58.had escaped life but got a fine. That would definitely explain to me

:28:58. > :29:06.why, for months Tino Geddes was a staunch supporter of Kris Maharaj

:29:06. > :29:16.and the next time I saw him, he was testifying for the state in court.

:29:16. > :29:16.

:29:16. > :29:21.I could not believe what I was hearing. The news about Tino Geddes

:29:21. > :29:25.isn't the only revelation that's come out. There's more stuff about

:29:25. > :29:32.clol beeian who had the room opposite where the murders took

:29:32. > :29:39.place, did you know anything about him at the time? At the time no.

:29:39. > :29:45.Miami detectives arrested Mid-80s, Miami was creaking under clol

:29:45. > :29:50.beeian cocaine. So when it transpired a Colombian rented a

:29:50. > :29:56.room opposite the qilgs, you would expect the police to investigate

:29:56. > :30:04.this fully. They barely questioned him a proper checkup, would have

:30:04. > :30:09.revealed what I showed him. He was suppose today have carried �40

:30:09. > :30:18.million 348 dollars for deposits for Swiss bank accounts on maf of

:30:18. > :30:21.Colombian drug smuggleers. Opposite the murders. Is this

:30:21. > :30:31.dynamite information? Of course it was.

:30:31. > :30:46.

:30:46. > :30:49.The whole case sincere far as I was And Kris Maharaj was the fall guy.

:30:49. > :30:55.Frustrating stuff for Kris Maharaj's British lawyer who took

:30:55. > :30:59.up the case 17 years ago. We have a big battle ahead of us, my plan, I

:30:59. > :31:04.hope is to develop this evidence and go to the Florida state courts

:31:04. > :31:11.and persuade them. If that doesn't work, we have to go to the American

:31:11. > :31:17.Supreme Court. Every piece of new evidence is bitter sweet for matter

:31:17. > :31:26.Rita Maharaj who stayed by her man all this time. Occasionally I dream

:31:26. > :31:35.about Kris when he was younger, and always in London. The other day, I

:31:35. > :31:39.dreamed that he came home and we were going, and the day he was

:31:39. > :31:45.embraceing me and kissing me for the first time I dreamed that.

:31:45. > :31:50.Short of a legal or diplomatic miracle, that remains a rather

:31:50. > :32:00.distant dream. I want to be out while I'm alive, not when I'm dead.

:32:00. > :32:06.I want to be vindicated, not after I'm dead. Kris Maharaj ending that

:32:06. > :32:10.report by Tim Sam uels. But Tim is up now with a review show. We will

:32:11. > :32:18.be delivering on the verdict on the Spider-Man, a fresh start for the

:32:18. > :32:25.superhero. Michael Palin's novel rg The Truth, and When I'm 65, and a
