Bonus Episode: How to Convict a Killer
Listen now
Description
Emotional turmoil. That’s the motive the prosecution say led Bradley Edwards to attack a woman at Hollywood hospital, rape a teenager and kill three women. Family and friends told of the mild-mannered Bradley Edwards in the first four weeks of the trial. The man who didn’t react when he caught his wife kissing another man in their house, nor reacting to the news of his estranged wife having a baby with her lover. The prosecution say he didn’t react publicly to these events, instead he took out his emotions on lone, vulnerable women. Sarah Spiers, Jane Rimmer and Ciara Glennon. The prosecution say they also have DNA and fibre evidence to back up their claim. DNA which they say Bradley Edwards left on his rape victim and Ciara Glennon, as well as on a kimono he left behind after a terrifying home invasion known as “The Huntingdale break in” But the defence have a case of their own. They say the DNA got on all three samples not through Bradley Edwards committing all of the offences, but through cross contamination. They also say there’s no evidence of him being in Claremont at the time of the killings because there’s no CCTV evidence of him in the area. In this bonus episode, hear how the prosecution plan to say Bradley Edwards is the Claremont Serial Killer.
