Description

Interview with Ray Matthews, the uncle of murdered toddler James Bulger. On the interjection of the Americans, who claimed the two killers were treated inhumanely by the British criminal justice system, which he denies. And on the recommended sentence which he believes is not long enough-the family is delivering a petition to the Home Office asking for life sentences. Male interviewer not identified.
