But was the right person gaoled?
About this Event
Its 1865 and Sydney-based dentist Dr Louis Bertrand is arrested for M**der.
But was the right person gaoled?
Did the dentist act alone?
Listen and decide for yourself if justice was completely served.
It’s a story full of melodrama and unbelievable twists and turns with the infatuated amorous dentist, the demure wife, a girlfriend of high passion, a murdered husband and the dental assistant who juggles in inns at night for extra money!
The story ranges from Sydney to New Zealand to Parramatta lunatic asylum and Darlinghurst Gaol and finally ends in England.
