Better a Millstone, Mona Brand , single work drama
Better a Millstone deals with the hanging of Derek Bentley, a British teenager who was involved in a robbery which led to the murder of a police officer. He was hanged despite the fact that he did not shoot the police officer and was judged to be mentally incompetent. After a long campaign he was posthumously granted a royal pardon in 1993 and had his sentence quashed in 1998.
