A man who spent 12 years in prison for a murder he didn't commit stars in a "gripping" new show looking at the unjust conviction of a Liverpool man.
Investigative journalist Raphael Rowe, who presents the Netflix series Inside the World's Toughest Prisons, is fronting a true crime series - British Injustice with Raphael Rowe - exploring "some of the most shocking miscarriages of justice and wrongful convictions in recent British history".
Each of the two episodes look at how wrongful convictions shattered the lives of people in two different murder cases - one in Cardiff and one in Liverpool.

The second episode of the Crime+Investigation original - to be broadcast at 9pm on Monday May 30 - features John Kamara, who spent 19 years in prison for the killing of Toxteth betting shop manager John Suffield in 1981 before getting his conviction quashed.
Ray Gilbert, who was convicted alongside John Kamara, was released in 2016 after spending 36 years in prison for John Suffield's murder. Gilbert has maintained his own innocence and previously told the ECHO how he confessed to the crime during a 48-hour interrogation without legal representation.
In the documentary, Raphael Rowe tries to discover what led to Kamara's conviction while unveiling the "repeated failures within the British criminal justice system".
The first episode, broadcast at 9pm on Monday, May 23, looks at the wrongful incarceration of the 'Cardiff Newsagent Three' for the murder of Cardiff businessman Phillip Saunders in 1987. In both episodes, Raphael meets people affected by miscarriages of justice, and "takes viewers on an eye-opening, intimate journey of just what it takes to overturn" them. It took Raphael a decade of lengthy appeals before he was acquitted after his 1990 conviction as one of the 'M25 three'.
British Injustice with Raphael Rowe will premiere on Crime+Investigation on 23 rd May at 9pm and is available to stream on C+I PLAY from the 24 th May crimeandinvestigation.co.uk/play
