Hilton bombing evidence

This clip chosen to be PG

Clip description

Three members of the Ananda Marga sect are convicted of bombing the Hilton Hotel during a CHOGM event. One of the convicted, Tim Anderson, says that he was convicted on false evidence. Another one of the convicted, Ross Dunn, also denies involvement in the terrorist act. Defence lawyer Will Hutchins says that the men’s accuser, Richard Seary’s claim that the men told him of their involvement came a month after his primary accusation. Jurors Ross Clark and Eric Mountier also voice concerns about the trial.

Curator’s notes
