Field's Murder Conviction Overturned

0:00On April 16th, a former churchward named Benjamin Field just had his life sentence thrown out by the Court of Appeal for the murder of A. 69-year-old university lecturer Peter Farquhar. Field got locked up back in 2019, with a minimum of 36 years after a jury said he killed Farquhar and maids Morton, Buckingham Shire. By messing with his head, slipping him tranquilizers and spiking his drinks to make it seem like suicide so he could snag the house and cash. Farquhar was a retired teacher and novelist who lectured at the University of Buckingham and Field had posed as a trusted figure in the local church, seen. The criminal cases review commission sent the case up last year and Field's team argued there was zero proof he tricked or forced Farquhar into the booze or maids that did him in back in 2015. Three top judges quashed the conviction and called for a retrial but they greenlit the prosecutors to rush it to the Supreme Court first, leaving. Everyone waiting on what comes next in this twisted saga.
