Timothy Evans

Timothy Evans was a British man wrongly convicted and executed in 1950 for the murder of his wife and daughter, crimes he did not commit. His case became a pivotal example of miscarriage of justice, highlighting flaws in the criminal justice system, especially the reliance on limited evidence and confessions obtained under duress. Evans's conviction was later overturned, and the case contributed to the abolition of the death penalty in the UK. His story underscores the importance of thorough legal procedures and the potential for wrongful convictions to impact lives profoundly.
