Episode 6: Confirmation Bias | The Truth About Amy

Pressure is mounting on top cop Col Blanch to fix WAPOL’s reputation over the handling of the case of Amy Wensley. In this episode, former police officer and true crime author Duncan McNab calls on the Police Commissioner to “lead”. Also we do get onto one of the key witnesses who was there when Amy was shot who has trouble answering some tricky questions which he’d previously never been asked.
