CROWN V COLONY — Let Him Have It: How Britain Hanged 19-Year-Old Derek Bentley for a Murder He Didn't Commit
Day four of CROWN V COLONY, and the story turns. Garret Fisher leaves the killers behind for a young man who killed no one at all. On a Croydon rooftop in November 1952, 19-year-old Derek Bentley — illiterate, epileptic, with a reading age assessed at around four and a half — was already restrained by police when his 16-year-old friend Christopher Craig shot and killed Police Constable Sidney Miles, 42, a husband and father. Craig, as a juvenile, was too young to hang. Bentley was not. On the strength of five disputed words — "Let him have it, Chris," which the defense argued meant hand over the gun, and which serious doubt suggests Bentley may never have said at all — and a trial widely judged unfair, Bentley was convicted under the joint-enterprise law of the time and executed in January 1953, against his own jury's recommendation for mercy. It took 45 years and a fight carried by three generations of his family before the Court of Appeal quashed the conviction in 1998 — and the state finally admitted it had hanged an innocent man.

00:00:03.200 --> 00:00:12.759
Caalaroga Shark Media. Good morning. It's Thursday, July second, and
2
00:00:12.839 --> 00:00:16.239
this is Daily Crime and Justice. I'm Garrett Fisher, and
3
00:00:16.280 --> 00:00:19.719
this is day four of Crown Versus Colony, our Independence
4
00:00:19.800 --> 00:00:22.960
Day week, putting the United Kingdom's worst on the stand.
5
00:00:23.719 --> 00:00:26.679
All week we've looked at killers, a phantom in the
6
00:00:26.679 --> 00:00:30.280
Whitechapel fog, a husband and wife who turned a house
7
00:00:30.280 --> 00:00:34.079
into a graveyard, a lonely man who murdered for company.
8
00:00:34.679 --> 00:00:37.880
Today I'm gonna do something different because the worst crime
9
00:00:37.920 --> 00:00:40.399
in this episode wasn't committed by the man in the dock.
10
00:00:41.240 --> 00:00:44.280
Today the killer is the state itself. Today we talk
11
00:00:44.320 --> 00:00:47.000
about a nineteen year old who pulled no trigger, who
12
00:00:47.079 --> 00:00:49.479
was under arrest when the fatal shot was fired, and
13
00:00:49.560 --> 00:00:52.359
whom the British justice system marched up to a gallows
14
00:00:52.399 --> 00:00:57.119
anyway and hanged. His name was Derek Bentley. And this,
15
00:00:57.320 --> 00:01:00.840
to me is the darkest story of the week, precisely
16
00:01:00.880 --> 00:01:03.960
because it wore a robe and called itself the law.
17
00:01:05.120 --> 00:01:09.519
The night of November the second, nineteen fifty two, Croydon,
18
00:01:09.879 --> 00:01:13.560
South London, a nineteen year old named Derrek Bentley and
19
00:01:13.640 --> 00:01:16.680
his sixteen year old friend, Christopher Craig climbed over a
20
00:01:16.719 --> 00:01:19.239
gate and shimmeied up a drain pipe onto the roof
21
00:01:19.280 --> 00:01:22.560
of a confectionery warehouse, planning to break in and rob it.
22
00:01:23.400 --> 00:01:26.400
A family across the street saw them and called the police.
23
00:01:26.799 --> 00:01:30.120
Let me be clear from the start, this was a burglary.
24
00:01:30.879 --> 00:01:33.359
Bentley was there to commit a crime, and he had
25
00:01:33.400 --> 00:01:36.879
a knife and a knuckle duster in his pockets. I'm
26
00:01:36.920 --> 00:01:38.760
not going to pretend he was an angel out for
27
00:01:38.799 --> 00:01:41.799
a stroll. But what happened next is the thing. The
28
00:01:41.840 --> 00:01:45.000
rest of his short life hinged on. A detective sergeant
29
00:01:45.079 --> 00:01:47.680
named Frederick Fairfax got up onto that roof and grabbed
30
00:01:47.719 --> 00:01:52.200
Derek Bentley by the arm. Bentley was caught held effectively
31
00:01:52.280 --> 00:01:55.239
under arrest, and it was at that moment the police
32
00:01:55.239 --> 00:01:58.480
would later say that Bentley shouted five words across the
33
00:01:58.519 --> 00:02:02.719
rooftop to his friend, let him have it. Chris Craig
34
00:02:02.799 --> 00:02:06.599
had a revolver. Craig fired, wounding Fairfax in the shoulder,
35
00:02:07.079 --> 00:02:09.879
and when more officers came up, the first one onto
36
00:02:09.919 --> 00:02:14.000
that roof, Police Constable Sydney Miles, forty two years old,
37
00:02:14.360 --> 00:02:18.319
was shot through the head and killed instantly. Christopher Craig
38
00:02:18.400 --> 00:02:23.080
fired that shot Christopher Craig killed PC Miles. But Christopher
39
00:02:23.120 --> 00:02:27.000
Craig was sixteen and, under British law, too young to hang,
40
00:02:27.560 --> 00:02:29.280
So the rope went around the neck of the boy
41
00:02:29.319 --> 00:02:31.919
who was already in handcuffs when the trigger was pulled.
42
00:02:32.400 --> 00:02:35.080
That is the case. Let me show you how it happened.
43
00:02:39.919 --> 00:02:42.360
Before we go any further, you need to understand who
44
00:02:42.400 --> 00:02:45.879
Derek Bentley actually was, because the system that killed him
45
00:02:46.159 --> 00:02:50.000
knew exactly who he was and did it anyway. Bentley
46
00:02:50.080 --> 00:02:53.639
was nineteen years old, but that number is misleading. He
47
00:02:53.719 --> 00:02:57.439
had an IQ measured at seventy seven. He was in
48
00:02:57.520 --> 00:03:01.199
the clinical language of the time, Borderlin f feeble minded.
49
00:03:01.719 --> 00:03:05.479
He was illiterate, so illiterate that a prison medical officer
50
00:03:05.560 --> 00:03:08.479
said he couldn't even recognize or write down all the
51
00:03:08.560 --> 00:03:11.719
letters of the alphabet. His reading age was assessed at
52
00:03:11.759 --> 00:03:14.639
around four and a half years four and a half.
53
00:03:14.919 --> 00:03:18.400
He was an epileptic, with brain scans that came back abnormal.
54
00:03:18.919 --> 00:03:22.439
He'd been deemed unfit even for National service, the compulsory
55
00:03:22.479 --> 00:03:25.560
military service nearly every young British Man did back then.
56
00:03:26.199 --> 00:03:29.719
So picture it a grown teenager with the literacy of
57
00:03:29.759 --> 00:03:32.960
a toddler and a documented seizure disorder, a young man
58
00:03:33.000 --> 00:03:36.080
who'd been bounced through clinics and institutions his whole life,
59
00:03:36.319 --> 00:03:38.680
who everybody with a file in front of them could see,
60
00:03:38.960 --> 00:03:43.159
was vulnerable. Nobody was really paying attention to Derek Bentley
61
00:03:43.240 --> 00:03:45.919
in any way that ever helped him. And the first
62
00:03:45.919 --> 00:03:48.639
time the full weight of the British establishment finally did
63
00:03:48.680 --> 00:03:51.120
turn its attention on him, it was to put him
64
00:03:51.159 --> 00:03:54.240
to death. That's the bitter joke at the center of this.
65
00:03:54.919 --> 00:03:58.439
The system noticed him exactly once, and it was to
66
00:03:58.560 --> 00:04:04.080
kill him. Five words. Everything turned on that one sentence,
67
00:04:04.479 --> 00:04:07.639
Let him have it, Chris. The prosecution told the jury
68
00:04:07.680 --> 00:04:11.360
it was an order, an incitement. Bentley, they argued, was
69
00:04:11.400 --> 00:04:14.479
telling Craig to shoot, and so under the law Bentley
70
00:04:14.560 --> 00:04:17.079
was as guilty of the murder as the boy who fired.
71
00:04:17.680 --> 00:04:21.160
The defense argued the exact opposite, that if he said
72
00:04:21.199 --> 00:04:23.759
it at all, let him have it, meant hand the
73
00:04:23.759 --> 00:04:27.720
gun over, give it up, surrender to the officer. Two
74
00:04:27.759 --> 00:04:30.519
readings of five words and a young man's life balance
75
00:04:30.600 --> 00:04:33.439
between them. And here's what makes it so much worse.
76
00:04:33.839 --> 00:04:36.439
It is far from certain that Derek Bentley ever said
77
00:04:36.439 --> 00:04:39.360
those words at all. The only evidence he did came
78
00:04:39.360 --> 00:04:44.040
from police officers. Craig denied it, Bentley denied it, and
79
00:04:44.240 --> 00:04:47.480
in the decades since, serious investigators have concluded it was
80
00:04:47.680 --> 00:04:50.160
very likely never said that. It was a line that
81
00:04:50.199 --> 00:04:53.519
got written into the story afterward because somebody needed Bentley
82
00:04:53.519 --> 00:04:56.560
to have said something that made him a murderer. Think
83
00:04:56.600 --> 00:04:59.040
about that. A man may have been hanged over a
84
00:04:59.079 --> 00:05:02.759
sentence he never Both Bentley and Craig were charged with
85
00:05:02.879 --> 00:05:06.399
murder under an old doctrine of English law. Because a
86
00:05:06.480 --> 00:05:09.199
death happened during their crime, the law treated them as
87
00:05:09.319 --> 00:05:12.959
jointly responsible for it, whether or not they personally fired
88
00:05:12.959 --> 00:05:16.720
the shot. It's the same family of law, joint enterprise
89
00:05:16.920 --> 00:05:19.879
that British courts have been wrestling with and narrowing right
90
00:05:19.959 --> 00:05:22.920
up into our own century because of exactly the kind
91
00:05:22.920 --> 00:05:26.920
of injustice this case represents. Craig, the one who actually
92
00:05:26.959 --> 00:05:31.120
shot and killed PC Miles, was sixteen, so the most
93
00:05:31.160 --> 00:05:35.480
he could face was detention. Bentley, who shot nobody, was nineteen,
94
00:05:35.800 --> 00:05:38.439
old enough for the rope sit with the math of
95
00:05:38.439 --> 00:05:41.600
that the killer lived because he was younger. The one
96
00:05:41.600 --> 00:05:44.399
who killed no one died because he was older. That
97
00:05:44.600 --> 00:06:01.439
is not justice, That is bookkeeping with a human life. Now.
98
00:06:01.519 --> 00:06:03.519
I want to stop here and do something this case
99
00:06:03.639 --> 00:06:06.839
rarely does because in all the righteous anger about Derek Bentley,
100
00:06:07.240 --> 00:06:10.160
one man tends to get forgotten, and he is the
101
00:06:10.279 --> 00:06:14.079
actual murder victim. His name was Sidney Miles. He was
102
00:06:14.120 --> 00:06:17.839
forty two years old. He was a police officer, a husband,
103
00:06:17.959 --> 00:06:20.480
a father, and on the night of November the two,
104
00:06:20.759 --> 00:06:24.040
nineteen fifty two, he climbed up onto a dark rooftop
105
00:06:24.120 --> 00:06:26.560
to do his job and protect people he'd never met,
106
00:06:27.040 --> 00:06:29.879
and Christopher Craig shot him dead for it. He was
107
00:06:29.959 --> 00:06:33.839
later honored for his bravery. PC. Sidney Miles deserved to
108
00:06:33.879 --> 00:06:38.000
go home that night. He deserved justice. His family's grief
109
00:06:38.079 --> 00:06:40.519
was real, and so was the public's outrage that a
110
00:06:40.560 --> 00:06:42.759
policeman had been gunned down. And I want to be
111
00:06:42.800 --> 00:06:45.480
honest with you, because this is where the case gets
112
00:06:45.560 --> 00:06:50.759
genuinely hard. The fury that the establishment felt was understandable.
113
00:06:51.120 --> 00:06:54.439
A copper was dead. But here's the line I'll draw,
114
00:06:54.639 --> 00:06:57.720
and I'll draw it hard. Understandable rage is not the
115
00:06:57.759 --> 00:07:00.680
same thing as justice. The right pace answer to the
116
00:07:00.720 --> 00:07:03.279
murder of Sidney Miles was to convict the man who
117
00:07:03.360 --> 00:07:07.199
shot him, which they did. The wrong answer. The obscene
118
00:07:07.279 --> 00:07:09.800
answer was to also take a nineteen year old with
119
00:07:09.839 --> 00:07:12.680
the mind of a child who fired nothing and hang
120
00:07:12.800 --> 00:07:15.959
him to make the books balance. You do not honor
121
00:07:16.000 --> 00:07:18.720
a dead police officer by killing an innocent man next
122
00:07:18.720 --> 00:07:22.439
to his name. Two wrongs there. PC Miles deserve better,
123
00:07:22.800 --> 00:07:26.439
so did Derek Bentley. A justice system worth the word
124
00:07:26.519 --> 00:07:28.600
should have been able to hold both of those truths
125
00:07:28.639 --> 00:07:36.279
at once. This one couldn't or wouldn't. The trial was
126
00:07:36.319 --> 00:07:38.720
over in three days at the Old Bailey in December
127
00:07:38.839 --> 00:07:42.120
nineteen fifty two. It was presided over by the Lord
128
00:07:42.199 --> 00:07:46.480
Chief Justice himself, Rayner Goddard, a man history remembers as
129
00:07:46.519 --> 00:07:51.079
the Hanging Judge, and by every serious modern assessment, Goddard
130
00:07:51.120 --> 00:07:53.839
did not give Derek Bentley a fair trial. He had
131
00:07:53.879 --> 00:07:57.199
little patience for the psychiatrists and the evidence of Bentley's
132
00:07:57.240 --> 00:08:00.639
mental state. He told the jury, in effect, that Bentley
133
00:08:00.720 --> 00:08:04.120
was guilty of mentally aiding the murder. He steered them
134
00:08:04.279 --> 00:08:08.120
hard toward conviction. The jury was out for about seventy
135
00:08:08.120 --> 00:08:12.000
five minutes. They came back guilty, both of them. But
136
00:08:12.120 --> 00:08:15.720
here's the thing that should stop you cold. That same jury,
137
00:08:15.839 --> 00:08:19.360
the one that convicted him, attached a recommendation for mercy
138
00:08:19.480 --> 00:08:23.439
for Derek Bentley. Twelve ordinary people looked at this and said,
139
00:08:23.839 --> 00:08:27.160
convict him if the law demands it, but for God's sake,
140
00:08:27.399 --> 00:08:31.279
do not hang him. The judge forwarded that mercy recommendation
141
00:08:31.439 --> 00:08:34.559
up the chain, and alongside it noted that he himself
142
00:08:34.559 --> 00:08:40.399
could find no mitigating circumstances, no mitigation for an illiterate,
143
00:08:40.480 --> 00:08:43.360
epileptic nineteen year old with the reading age of a
144
00:08:43.399 --> 00:08:46.679
small child, who shot no one. The appeal was heard
145
00:08:46.720 --> 00:08:50.200
in January and thrown out, and then it came down
146
00:08:50.240 --> 00:08:54.200
to one man. The Home Secretary, David maxwell Fife, had
147
00:08:54.200 --> 00:08:57.120
the power to commute the sentence, to change the rope
148
00:08:57.120 --> 00:08:59.200
to a prison term with a stroke of his pen.
149
00:09:00.080 --> 00:09:03.159
Around two hundred members of Parliament wanted the matter debated,
150
00:09:03.600 --> 00:09:08.240
There were petitions, there was an enormous public outcry, and
151
00:09:08.360 --> 00:09:13.200
maxwell Fiffe said no, he let it proceed. That wasn't
152
00:09:13.240 --> 00:09:16.799
a mistake, that wasn't an oversight. That was a choice.
153
00:09:17.440 --> 00:09:20.279
A man with the power to stop a hanging chose
154
00:09:20.360 --> 00:09:25.080
not to stop it. When we come back the morning
155
00:09:25.120 --> 00:09:28.240
they hanged Derek Bentley, the letter he dictated to his
156
00:09:28.279 --> 00:09:31.200
mom and dad because he couldn't write it himself, and
157
00:09:31.320 --> 00:09:33.960
the forty five year fight by one family to force
158
00:09:34.000 --> 00:09:37.000
the British state to finally say the words stay with me.
159
00:09:44.639 --> 00:09:48.720
Welcome back to Daily Crime and Justice. At nine o'clock
160
00:09:48.720 --> 00:09:51.440
in the morning on the twenty eighth of January nineteen
161
00:09:51.519 --> 00:09:54.799
fifty three, Derek Bentley was hanged at Wandsworth Prison in
162
00:09:54.840 --> 00:09:58.639
London by the executioner, Albert Pierre Point. He was nineteen
163
00:09:58.720 --> 00:10:02.080
years old. Outside the prison gates, a crowd had gathered
164
00:10:02.120 --> 00:10:05.799
in protest. People tore down the official notice of execution
165
00:10:06.080 --> 00:10:09.559
and burned it. There was a sense even then, even
166
00:10:09.559 --> 00:10:12.320
in that moment, that something deeply wrong was being done
167
00:10:12.360 --> 00:10:15.559
in the name of the law. Before he died, Derek
168
00:10:15.600 --> 00:10:19.000
Bentley dictated a last letter to his parents because of
169
00:10:19.080 --> 00:10:22.559
course he couldn't write it himself, and in it, this
170
00:10:22.720 --> 00:10:25.120
young man that the courts had treated as a cold
171
00:10:25.159 --> 00:10:28.600
and calculating murderer just sounded like a frightened boy who
172
00:10:28.639 --> 00:10:31.799
wanted to comfort his mom and dad. That's who they hanged,
173
00:10:32.519 --> 00:10:36.879
not the monster. The prosecution painted, a scared, limited, vulnerable
174
00:10:36.919 --> 00:10:39.639
young man who never understood the machinery that was grinding
175
00:10:39.720 --> 00:10:43.279
him up. But here's where this story refuses. To end.
176
00:10:43.639 --> 00:10:47.799
And here's why it matters. The Bentley family would not
177
00:10:48.039 --> 00:10:50.799
let it go. His parents fought to clear his name
178
00:10:50.919 --> 00:10:55.159
until they died. Then his sister Iris Bentley picked it
179
00:10:55.240 --> 00:10:57.960
up and carried it for decades, gave her life to it,
180
00:10:58.320 --> 00:11:01.639
and died of cancer in ninety ninety seven, just before
181
00:11:01.639 --> 00:11:04.720
the finish line. Then her daughter carried it the rest
182
00:11:04.720 --> 00:11:08.120
of the way, and the state slowly, grudgingly was forced
183
00:11:08.120 --> 00:11:12.440
to answer. In nineteen ninety three, forty years after the hanging,
184
00:11:12.799 --> 00:11:16.240
Derek Bentley was granted a royal pardon. But a pardon
185
00:11:16.360 --> 00:11:20.000
wasn't enough, because a pardon forgives, and the family didn't
186
00:11:20.000 --> 00:11:24.039
want forgiveness. They wanted the truth that the conviction was wrong.
187
00:11:24.720 --> 00:11:27.919
And finally, in nineteen ninety eight, the Court of Appeal
188
00:11:28.039 --> 00:11:34.039
quashed Derek Bentley's murder conviction outright, and the judgment was extraordinary.
189
00:11:35.000 --> 00:11:38.440
The then Lord Chief Justice, Lord Bingham turned around and
190
00:11:38.600 --> 00:11:43.080
condemned his own predecessor. He ruled that Goddard, the original
191
00:11:43.080 --> 00:11:46.840
trial judge, had denied Bentley the fair trial, that is,
192
00:11:47.120 --> 00:11:51.559
in his words, the birthright of every British citizen. He
193
00:11:51.639 --> 00:11:54.639
found the summing up had been prejudiced that the jury
194
00:11:54.720 --> 00:11:58.399
had been pushed to convict. Forty five years after they
195
00:11:58.440 --> 00:12:01.039
hanged him, the highest court in the land said, in
196
00:12:01.080 --> 00:12:04.480
plain language, we got this wrong, and an innocent man
197
00:12:04.600 --> 00:12:08.399
died for it. Even Christopher Craig, the boy who actually
198
00:12:08.440 --> 00:12:11.159
fired the gun, who'd served his ten years and lived
199
00:12:11.159 --> 00:12:14.440
a quiet life after, finally broke his silence to say
200
00:12:14.480 --> 00:12:17.759
he was relieved his friend's name was cleared, and sorry,
201
00:12:18.159 --> 00:12:22.200
truly sorry for the pain of that night. So that's
202
00:12:22.360 --> 00:12:26.279
day four. Derek Bentley was nineteen years old, he had
203
00:12:26.279 --> 00:12:28.679
the reading age of a child. He killed no one,
204
00:12:28.799 --> 00:12:31.840
and he was in handcuffs when the man died. The
205
00:12:31.960 --> 00:12:35.240
state hanged him anyway over five words he probably never
206
00:12:35.440 --> 00:12:38.679
said against the mercy of his own jury, and then
207
00:12:38.720 --> 00:12:42.759
took nearly half a century to admit it. Accountability doesn't
208
00:12:42.799 --> 00:12:45.440
have a legal department, and sometimes it doesn't even have
209
00:12:45.480 --> 00:12:49.200
a deadline. Sometimes it just takes a family forty five
210
00:12:49.320 --> 00:12:53.120
years of refusing to be quiet. Say both their names tonight,
211
00:12:53.480 --> 00:12:56.440
Police Constable Sidney Miles, who should have gone home to
212
00:12:56.480 --> 00:13:00.320
his family, and Derek Bentley, who should never have died
213
00:13:00.360 --> 00:13:07.519
at all. A few honest notes for the record. Derek
214
00:13:07.559 --> 00:13:10.679
Bentley and Christopher Craig were both committing a burglary, and
215
00:13:10.759 --> 00:13:15.080
Bentley was carrying weapons. The injustice we describe is his murder,
216
00:13:15.120 --> 00:13:19.679
conviction and execution, not the existence of a crime. Bentley
217
00:13:19.720 --> 00:13:22.120
did not fire the fatal shot and was restrained by
218
00:13:22.120 --> 00:13:25.639
police at the time PC Sidney Miles was killed. Craig
219
00:13:25.679 --> 00:13:28.919
fired the gun. The phrase let him have it, Chris
220
00:13:29.000 --> 00:13:32.320
was central to the prosecution, but its meaning was disputed
221
00:13:32.360 --> 00:13:35.720
at trial, and there is serious, long standing doubt as
222
00:13:35.720 --> 00:13:38.799
to whether Bentley said it at all. It was reported
223
00:13:38.879 --> 00:13:43.360
chiefly by police witnesses and denied by both defendants. Bentley
224
00:13:43.399 --> 00:13:46.000
was convicted under the joint enterprise law of the time.
225
00:13:46.360 --> 00:13:49.159
That conviction was formally quashed by the Court of Appeal
226
00:13:49.200 --> 00:13:52.320
in nineteen ninety eight after a royal pardon in nineteen
227
00:13:52.399 --> 00:13:56.120
ninety three. Some remarks attributed to the trial judge are
228
00:13:56.159 --> 00:14:00.039
reported and contested. Dates and figures here reflect the his
229
00:14:00.039 --> 00:14:05.399
historical record as established by those later proceedings. That's Crown
230
00:14:05.519 --> 00:14:10.279
Versus Colony day four and tomorrow we finish on the
231
00:14:10.320 --> 00:14:13.759
third of July, the eve of American Independence Day, with
232
00:14:13.919 --> 00:14:17.639
the most fitting case we could possibly end on. Not
233
00:14:17.759 --> 00:14:21.399
a murderer this time, but a rebel, the most famous
234
00:14:21.399 --> 00:14:23.679
man in British history to ever try to destroy the
235
00:14:23.720 --> 00:14:27.200
British Government, caught in a cellar under Parliament with thirty
236
00:14:27.200 --> 00:14:30.759
six barrels of gunpowder and a slow match. Guy Fawkes

238
00:14:34.960 --> 00:14:36.879
If this one moved you, and I hope it did,
239
00:14:37.159 --> 00:14:39.960
do me a favor and share it. Tell somebody we're
240
00:14:40.000 --> 00:14:42.240
doing the UK's worst all week and send them this
241
00:14:42.320 --> 00:14:45.679
episode in particular, because everybody should know Derek Bentley's name.
242
00:14:46.200 --> 00:14:48.519
Word of mouth is how this show grows, and it
