Acerca de esta escucha

A woman disappears on her way to work. A man is convicted of her murder. But this case is different. Though the police believe they have the right man, key components of the prosecution case are missing. There is no body of the victim, no witnesses to the crime, no confession and no physical evidence: no DNA, CCTV or murder weapon.

Journalists and TV producers Darrell Brown and Sophie Ellis examine the extraordinary case of Suzanne Pilley, a woman who vanished whilst on her way to work in Edinburgh in 2010. The pair has spent two years investigating the case and speaking exclusively to David Gilroy - the man who was found guilty of killing Suzanne and disposing of her body. He is currently serving a life sentence in a Scottish jail.

But Gilroy says he is innocent: victim of a miscarriage of justice.

Darrell and Sophie are not so sure. They explore Gilroy's claims that the investigation and trial were mishandled, that key pieces of evidence were not presented in court and witnesses were not contacted.

The pair uncover startling information, not heard in court, that might have changed the minds of the jury. And they shine a light on aspects of the Scottish criminal justice system that might be keeping an innocent man behind bars.

Interesting documentary that made me stay there, listening, all the way to the end. Good narrators and a great case.

Nice investigation

So frustrating! Such an interesting story, because its true makes it so good! I feel like the reporters found more evidence than the defence

Sad

There is nothing bad about this 'cast, but it just isn't that compelling. For a story about a man incarcerated unjustly, it lacks drama, or outrage, or anything beyond just the facts, really. Ten episodes in which very little is said.

The analysis of the evidence is good, the information about the Scotland justice system - also.

I didn't feel like abandoning, and that's down to the pleasant presentation and the brevity of the episodes. I learned something new, which is great. So a solid three stars.

Okay for passing the time

Beautifully produced and narrated, overall. While not the most unique story, I thoroughly enjoyed the detailed descriptions of Edinburgh's city center streets, buildings, and surrounding locations... places the narrators visited during their investigation. I probably continued to listen until the end for that reason alone; it was like having a bit of armchair travel. I also learned some things about the criminal justice system in Scotland, including one I consider to be a glaring weakness. If seven of 15 jurors cannot find that a criminal defendant is guilty 'beyond a reasonable doubt' after hearing the evidence, which is the same legal standard we have in the U. S., that result alone (7/15) proves in my mind that reasonable doubt does indeed exist. An interesting system.

I Liked It

While I was riveted the entire time I listened to this, I was on the fence about the entire case, so I did some research of my own.


***SPOLIERS***



These reporters did a great job at adding doubt to an already closed case. However, why did they not include damning evidence that WAS in the trial? Such as Gilroy showing up to the police station with makeup on his hands and arms covering numerous scratches. Also, added to the damage to the springs on his vehicle, freshly torn vegetation was found in the undercarriage of his vehicle. And lastly, the trip he took that took him almost 2 hours longer than it should have... There were 124 unaccounted for miles on his vehicle once he reached his destination.

I loved this podcast, but being objective was absolutely NOT the route this expose took in the least. None of us were there during the trial, but most of us are able to do our own research into what is absolutely public information. I garnered all the facts I have stated here from actual transcripts from the trial (some of these facts were in this narrative, but severely cut or omitted in their entirety). All in all, this is a great listen. However, don't be cowtowed into thinking that this is anywhere near a true or accurate representation of all of the evidence that was presented to the 15 jurors over the 21 days the prosecution used to make the case that convicted Gilroy of murdering Pelley in 2012.

Neutral? Objective?? Not even close.

This podcast nails the form but lacks the depth of better true crime podcasts like In the Dark, Serial, or even West Cork. There’s no new evidence or insight into the case and anyone paying attention for the last decade already knows there are flaws in the criminal justice system.

The silliest moment involves the reporters driving to Argyll Forest with a woman they met on a message board because she thinks a body may be hidden there. Where? She doesn’t know. Does she expect to find it or discover the truth? No. Why did they go there and record it then? Why am I listening? It’s just three people walking around the woods at that point.

Relatively Shallow

An unsolved cold case in Scotland is explored in detail. This is not a gory or particularly disturbing listen, except for the fact that a body has never been found. If you enjoy mysteries that don’t get resolved but are explored in depth, you’ll like this podcast

Very interesting

these guys brought it i now hope they do a update on David's case. they did an amazing job of being respectful to the victims in this case. I truly hope she is found and that David has the 2nd chance in court that he deserves

HONESTY IS THE BEST POLICY

the story interesting, the great details , although sad to relive the telling of someone loss of life ,still compellede to listen till the end, come to your own conclusions

listening in Mayberry

Don't expect to come away from this podcast with any answers to the disappearance of Suzanne Pilley. It's a deep dive into the prosecution's case against her alleged killer and they find reasonable doubt every step of the way, but no answers.

I'm disturbed by the conviction
