Derek Bentley
Derek William Bentley is an Englishman who was hanged for the murder of a police officer who died in a burglary. Christopher Craig, then 16, friend and accomplice of Bentley, was charged with murder. Bentley was found guilty of participating in crimes, under the general principle of UK law, "joint venture", because the theft was carried out under a mutual agreement. The trial was very controversial at the time. The jury at trial found Bentley guilty on the basis of the prosecutor's interpretation of the unclear "Let him have it," after the judge, Chief Justice Goddard, described Bentley as "providing emotional support to the murder of police officer Sidney Miles ”. Goddard sentenced Bentley to hanging, on the jury's pity warning: under the Judgment of Death Act of 1823, there can be no further conviction.
