Summary: | Focuses on the clashes, plots and perjuries that characterised seven notorious trials in Irish legal and political history (1803-1916) that show how the legal system was contaminated by a political agenda and how that agenda unwittingly incited great moments of legal drama. "A Century of Conspiracy" will focus on the clashes, plots and perjuries that characterised seven notorious trials in Irish legal and political history (1803-1916). Each trial will show how the legal system was contaminated by a political agenda and how that agenda unwittingly incited great moments of legal drama such as the disintegration of the forger, Richard Pigott under the cross examination of Sir Charles Russell at the Parnell Commission. Read also about the trials of Robert Emmet, Daniel O'Connell and the court martials after the Easter Rising. This title is accompanied by a four-part "RTE Radio 1" series. |
