Raphael Rowe

Biography

Raphael Rowe is a British broadcast journalist and presenter who, along with two co-defendants, was wrongfully convicted in 1990 for a 1988 murder and a series of aggravated robberies known as the M25 Three. After spending nearly twelve years in prison, their convictions were ruled unsafe in July 2000, leading to their release. Born in South-East London in 1968, Rowe grew up in a family of Jamaican and British heritage. He was wrongly accused of a violent attack in 1988 that resulted in a man's death and a series of home robberies. Despite inconsistencies in the victims' descriptions and Rowe's girlfriend later admitting she had lied, Rowe and his co-defendants were sentenced to life imprisonment without parole in March 1990. After years of legal battles, including an appeal to the European Court of Human Rights, their convictions were overturned, and they were released in July 2000. Rowe always maintained his innocence, suggesting a conspiracy involving the police and witnesses. Following his release, Rowe pursued a career in journalism, initially joining the BBC as a reporter for BBC Radio 4 in 2001. He later presented various BBC programs and made significant contributions to investigative journalism, including a documentary on the Barry George case. Rowe also walked the Camino de Santiago for a BBC Two series in 2017. Currently, Raphael Rowe serves as a reporter on BBC One's "The One Show" and "Sunday Morning Live." He has also hosted multiple seasons of "Inside the World's Toughest Prisons" on Netflix and launched his podcast called "Second Chance" in August 2020. In December 2020, he released his memoir and autobiography titled "Notorious." In his personal life, Rowe reconnected with a woman he had been dating before his incarceration, and they had their first child in 2004. He also has a son from a previous relationship, who was initially reluctant to see him due to the accusations against him. Rowe attributes his success as a journalist to his experiences of being wrongfully convicted and imprisoned for a crime he did not commit.

Roscoe Turner

Biography

From Wikipedia Roscoe Turner (September 29, 1895 – June 23, 1970) was a record-breaking American aviator who was a three-time winner of the Thompson Trophy air race, and widely recognized by his flamboyant style and his pet lion. In early 1925, via a lease purchase agreement, and with help and sponsorship of the Curlee Clothing Company, The Roscoe Turner Airways Corporation acquired the sole Sikorsky S-29-A, a twin-engine biplane with enclosed cabin for about 16 passengers plus open cockpit for the pilot. Turner used the aircraft through 1927 for commercial charters, publicity campaigns, passenger joy-riding and proposed record-breaking flights. In early 1928, Turner flew the S-29-A to California, for its conversion to a representation of a German Gotha bomber, under a lease agreement with film company Caddo Productions that was controlled by Howard Hughes. Caddo used the aircraft in Hughes' movie film Hell's Angels, often piloted by Turner. While being flown by another pilot during its final filmed stunt, it suffered an inflight failure and crashed with one fatality, after the pilot baled out. During this period, around 1928, Turner and his wife Carline became involved in Hollywood society, including movie executives, politicians and famous actors, all combined with aviation and publicity for all concerned. Turner adopted the title of "Colonel" in all his public activities.
