Darryl Beamish

Darryl Beamish (born 1941) is a Western Australian who was wrongfully convicted of wilful murder in 1961 and sentenced to death by hanging. The death sentence was commuted to life imprisonment and he served 15 years. After six appeals his conviction was finally overturned in 2005.
==History==
Mr Beamish, a deaf mute man, was aged 18 in 1959 when the 22-year-old socialite and MacRobertson's chocolate heiress, Jillian MacPherson Brewer, was slain in her Cottesloe flat by an intruder who mutilated her body with a tomahawk and a pair of dressmaking scissors. According to Perth Detective Owen Leitch, 18-year-old Beamish provided four confessions, two through a sign language interpreter, one a written statement and another in notes scrawled on the exercise yard at the Perth lock-up. Beamish said the confessions were obtained through intimidation and threats, and were untrue.
His conviction in 1961 for the murder caused continuing concern in legal circles. An Australian Professor of Jurisprudence, Peter Brett, wrote a short book titled ''The Beamish Case'', in 1966, arguing that the affair was a "monstrous miscarriage of justice" (Beamish had narrowly escaped the gallows). Beamish's defence team launched its first appeal in 1964 after serial killer Eric Edgar Cooke confessed to committing the Brewer murder, one of eight he confessed to. Cooke was a witness at the Beamish appeal however the judged ruled the confession as ''utterly worthless'' and the work of a ''palpable and unscrupulous liar''. Undeterred, Cooke on the morning of his hanging at Fremantle prison on October 26, 1964, without prompting took the Bible from the prison chaplain and said: "I swear before Almighty God that I killed Anderson and Brewer." It took five more appeals before Cooke's acceptance was deemed to be true and Beamish exonerated.
