The Guildford Four

The Guildford Four were four individuals falsely convicted in 1975 of bombing a pub in Guildford, England, which resulted in injuries but no deaths. They were accused based on confessions that were later found to be coerced, and evidence suggesting they were elsewhere at the time. After years of legal battles, their convictions were overturned in 1989, highlighting issues with police misconduct and the justice system. The case is now seen as a significant miscarriage of justice, emphasizing the importance of fair treatment and thorough investigation in criminal cases.
