EPISODE LIST

Stanley Roberts was electrocuted and killed when his crane touched overhead cables; a young boy who rushed to help him was also killed in the incident. A postmortem showed that Roberts had drunk alcohol beforehand. His employer Colin Hunter is now charged with health-and-safety offences. The prosecution asserts that Hunter knew Roberts was an alcoholic and yet took no proper action to stop him working. His widow says Roberts used to hit her, and says she wrote to Hunter about her husband's drinking. However, the defence maintains that there is no evidence that Roberts was ever drunk at work, and that the company took reasonable measures to ensure he was a safe employee.
