**This Episode contains descriptions of a graphic nature. Listener discretion is advised**
Can pre-meditated murder ever be justified? To some, the idea of murder is more palatable if it was committed in self-defence or in the effort of saving someone else's life. But what if the victim was the perpetrator of years of abuse and neglect and the offenders felt that the only way out was for to take their tormentor's life? Do the means justify the end?

Friday, the 23rd of February 1968, was a cold, frost covered morning, when 67 year old Maurice Goodman, known as Morris, happened upon a figure lying on the ground on Carmichael Lane, in front of some lockup garages, not too far from Langside Place in Glasgow, Scotland. But a sight like that wasn't too uncommon after ballroom nights. Maybe someone had had a bit too much to drink, and passed out outside. But as Maurice stepped closer, intending to wake the person, he realised that this was not the case.
