One Killer Punch

The woman I spoke to in this episode doesn’t want to reveal her true identity. So we agreed that I would call her Racheal. Racheal describes the moment her son was killed by a stranger with one punch. The unprovoked attack led to one man losing his life and another being sent to prison. This is not gang related; the result of an argument or a premeditated attack. It is a tragic tale shared by a mother, who despite losing her son, believes the man responsible can stop the cycle of violence that infected his life spreading to his child and others. Remedi: Restorative Justice Service  remediuk.orgSecond Chance by Raphael Rowe Facebook page: facebook.com/RaphaelRowePodcast/Webpage: Second ChanceSupport the show Hosted on Acast.

Om Podcasten

Award Winning Second Chance is a podcast series that explores the theme of second chance. It raises the questions who deserves a second chance, who decides who gets a second chance and what a second chance actually means. On this podcast we speak to people from all walks of life about their experiences, some who have been given a second chance in life, some who might be considered to be beyond deserving a second chance. The host of the podcast series is Raphael Rowe, host of the critically acclaimed series ‘Inside the World's Toughest Prisons’ on Netflix. He is also a former correspondent for the world's longest running BBC TV current affairs show Panorama the BBC Radio 4 Today programme as well as a regular contributor on The One Show and Sunday Morning Live on BBC One. In 1988, aged 20, he was sentenced to life imprisonment for a murder and robbery he did not commit. In July 2000, after 12 years in prison, the Court of Appeal quashed his wrongful convictions and he was freed. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
