This episode discusses the case of Frank Shortt who was an accountant and nightclub owner based in Donegal during the 1990’s. Embroiled in a conspiracy planned and executed by two members of the Garda Siochana, Shortt was arrested on charges of facilitating drug dealing at his nightclub which led to him being imprisoned for three years. His conviction accounts for one of Ireland’s most shocking miscarriages of justice where evidence was invented, and false testimonies were given to send an innocent man behind the bars.
