Article Abstract:
Channel 4 plans to air at the end of May 1998 Just TV's new Clear My Name series, which adopts the style of the Crimewatch show and solicits the assistance of the public for evidence that can help reverse decisions against convicted criminals. The new Clear My Name program, which will be aired live from Oxford Prison and will be anchored by investigative reporter David Jessel, will tackle the issue of possible miscarriage of justice against persons convicted of major criminal offenses. The public's response will either be followed up during the series or relayed live during the program.
