Show Notes
In 1963, a 19-year-old Perth man became the face of one of Australia’s most devastating miscarriages of justice.
In this episode of Real Crime with Adam Shand, Adam speaks directly with John Button, now in his 80s, about the night that changed his life, the brutality of a forced confession, and the system that chose expediency over justice. Button recounts living under the shadow of a wrongful conviction for nearly 40 years, the toll it took on his mental health and family and the bitter reality of being exonerated but never truly compensated.
