This episode takes us back to the chilling night of December 21, 1908, in Glasgow, where 83-year-old Marion Gilchrist was found brutally murdered in her upscale home. The investigation quickly led to Oscar Slater, a man with a dubious past, but the evidence was flimsy and the conviction controversial. Join me as we delve into the murder of Marion Gilchrist, the
flawed trial of Oscar Slater, and the decades-long fight to clear his name, a case that still raises questions over a century later.
