James Hanratty was one of the last individuals executed in the UK, known for his controversial case. Convicted for the murder of Michael Gregsten and the rape of Valerie Storie, he was sentenced to death despite conflicting eyewitness testimonies. His execution sparked widespread debate about the death penalty in Britain, leading many to believe it was a miscarriage of justice. A DNA analysis in 2002 indicated a high probability of his guilt, but his execution remains one of the most contentious decisions in British judicial history.
