Description

Press interview with Danny Simpson, lawyer for Mark Braithwaite, following his client’s freeing on bail, along with Engin Raghip, at the Law Courts in London. The two men were serving life sentences for murdering PC Keith Blakelock during the 1985 Broadwater Farm riots in Tottenham, North London. They now seem likely to have their sentences overturned by the Court of Appeal in London. Simpson says the police officers involved in the case should be charged. Broadcast on LBC Newstalk.
