Description

Tim Crook reports from the Law Courts on the likely quashing of the convictions of Mark Braithwaite and Engin Raghip who were serving life sentences for murdering PC Keith Blakelock during the 1985 Broadwater Farm riots in Tottenham, North London. The two men have been bailed and seem likely to have their sentences overturned by the Court of Appeal in London. Includes reaction from Mark Braithwaite and Engin Raghip. Broadcast on LBC Newstalk.
