In one tragic moment, two lives are destroyed in this riveting, true exploration of a dark moment in the British legal system: 'Let Him Have It.' With those words uttered by a friend, a mentally handicapped young man shoots a policeman. But did the friend mean for him to hand over the gun or commit murder? This drama reveals the controversial postwar 1950's London murder trial that sent a mentally handicapped young man to the gallows for a murder he did not commit.
