Nothing like knowing the facts... What idiot made this program

Such a great story.

Im from bakewell dint belive this quilty as fuck

JUANITA LOOKS A BIT LIKE MAVIS WILTON IN CORONATION STREET

IM A total outsider and i know in heat and soul this man was totally innocent . i admire his mon n dad and his sisters for standing by the innocent man who had the straightfordness ot abide jail rather than admit for someat he DID NOT DO . i admire his poor family and i admire Steven. if some of the commentators had even a scientilla of this mand courage and fortrightness they would lower their head s in shame at negative comments . Good luck Stevan and family god bless you all .

I bet the driving examiner wrongly failed him

Derbyshire police probably one of the worst forces in the country.After the Met

What a strong strong man to have kept going and serve 28 years..omg..amazing man..end of

Another terrible miscarriage of justice..from bent coppers..just like stefan kitszko..this was clearly a ripper murder from the start

Yeah middle of the road wi this one

My dad was political agent at the time. He knew about this case, and his thoughts were he just wasnt sure, but there was certainly doubt

Yeeeeh im not so sure about him !!

I don't think Peter Sutcliffe did this murder who did??? someone local maybe

I don't think Peter Sutcliffe did this murder,???

Had the opportunity to ride in a carriage behind the Sir Nigel Gressley a couple of weeks ago. Beautiful sensuous machine. Very graceful, very silent- until the chime sounds.

what is the punishment / deterent for the police officers that clearly set him up?????

The threats from locals suggest that it is possible some people knew who did it, and didn't want it discovered. Those threats should have been investigated. Were they?

I'm sorry, but Stephen Downing remains the chief - the only - suspect for the murder of Wendy Sewell, and the other alternative suspects have been eliminated from inquiries. This is a pretty one-sided look at the case for a TV barrister who pretends to run a real court but is really a circus.

He did it

If downing didnt do it who did

suttciffe done it if u ask me

I don't believe mr Downing.

This man was guilty. Police reinvestigated it and he was again the only possible suspect. Also he admitted to both his wife & parents after his release that he had murdered Wendy. Quote < Police reinvestigation Downing found to be the only suspect Following the Court of Appeal overturning Stephen Downing's conviction, the Derbyshire Police reinvestigated the murder under the name Operation Noble. During 2002, they interviewed 1,600 witnesses, at an estimated cost of £500,000 - though Downing himself refused to be reinterviewed.[9] A year after the conviction was overturned, in February 2003, Derbyshire police revealed the findings of their reinvestigation of the murder. 22 other possible suspects had been investigated, many of whom had been suggested by Don Hale during his campaign, and in his book Town Without Pity. One of the alternative suspects was Downing's father, who had been driving the bus that dropped Sewell near her workplace on the morning she was assaulted.[10] All of these alternative suspects were cleared of any possibility of having murdered Wendy Sewell. Downing, meanwhile, was the only suspect who could not be eliminated, indicating that he may have been guilty after all.[9][21] New forensic evidence also pointed to him having carried out the attack.[22] The police had wanted to question Downing about three confessions he made to the murder since his release from prison, including one recorded on audio tape, but he refused to comply.[10][23] A woman who he was in a relationship with had taped him confessing during an argument, and he was also alleged to have confessed to his father on two occasions in 2002 after his release.[10] Although he had refused to be interviewed for the reinvestigation, Downing issued a formal complaint after the findings were announced, saying: "They said that they would do a thorough investigation into the matter - they have not done".[22] An independent committee set up to oversee the police investigation later concluded that the inquiry had been completely fair and that they were satisfied with the integrity and rigour of the investigation.[24] Downing's solicitor was among those on the committee and himself concluded that the investigation had been fair.[24] After failing to link any other person with the murder, and unable to eliminate Downing as the suspect, the police declared the case closed and said they were not looking for anyone else.[23] Even though Downing remained the prime suspect, under the "double jeopardy" rules in place at the time a suspect could not be re-arrested and charged with a crime they had previously been acquitted of.[9] The police said that, had the law been different, they would have applied to the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) to again charge Downing with the murder.[9] The findings of the investigation led to public doubts over whether he should have been released.[10] unquote

Its called a stitch up

He,s fucking guilty it's been proved

What was Stephen's connection with Clairvoyant Christine Smith?

I remember everything about this case and the boy was innocent Disgusting police work on this boy

police fitting someone up ? - now THAT is a surprise - NOT !!!!!

It's been proven that this guy was actually guilty and he admitted to it on multiple occasions including once on audio tape. When you listen to him recall his version of events in this documentary it's obvious that he's lying.

Its like a Stephen king horror movie.! poor fella. Hope he sued the sheet outa them.

Public should call for police to be prosecuted under these circumstances. Disgusting. I’ve seen way too many of these cases. Poor Steve. My sons have special needs and this kind of thing terrifies me. They don’t even keep child killers in prison that long here. It’s just so abhorrent.

I hope he was financially compensated for all those lost years spent in prison.

Totally disgusting an innocent man corrupt police and what happens to them.

wow, his dad was a nonce. it makes you wonder if stephen did it.

i hate people with an IQ smaller than their shoe size, fat lump was asking for it for being a mong

They can run genetic genealogy tests & find out who the killer is or was if he’s even still alive.

Feel bad for him, hope he sued for false imprisonment! Meanwhile the real killer gets to be out there to kill more women.

Wow! His hair style was criminal!

The old Bill fitted up a lot of people easier than doing their jobs steven was deprived of his rights bless him 🙏 I hope Steve sued the arse of the government compensation is the very least he deserves

A travesty of justice so wrong that poor boy locked up for something he didn't do such a good family. Hope he was well compensated not that money can make up for what he's been through. But it would help get into life make a home again.

How is Stephen doing now?

What a lovely man and a gorgeous family. Such injustice and they aren’t bitter ❤

Michael Stone has always maintained his innocence and now after 24 years in Prison he is eligible for Parole this year, but he has refused to apply because he is innocent. It wouldn't surprise me if they find him dead one day, as it would save a lot of embarrassment all round.

I love Emma Kenny. One of my favorite true crime KZbinrs. Every Wednesday and Sunday!!!

A few bent coppers took that guy’s life.

That poor man! F*ck the police! Convenient how inconvenient evidence ‘goes missing’, but never evidence that supports their case?! This isn’t just 1 or 2 bad apples, every single stinkin copper involved with this case must’ve been complicit. Scumbags :(

God Bless this man!

What a lovely man !

Disgraceful police work. Myopic. Bless you Steven.

Psychopath show remorse and get to be free again, so they can carry on killing even more victims
