Chris Dawson – The Teachers verdict

The handing down of Justice Harrison's verdict in the murder trial of Chris Dawson has gripped the nation. While most of us probably did not watch the entire judgment, handed down orally by his Honour on 30 August 2022, over five hours, many of us tuned in for the verdict. Or, at the very least have been following the case in the media since the Teacher's Pet podcast was released in 2018.

The Case
