The Case of Jason Warr

Trial and Error – Season 4

1992: Jason Warr, charged with murder and sentenced to life imprisonment for the brutal killing by 35 blows of a claw hammer of insurance salesman Paul Newman of Leighton Buzzard, Bedfordshire. With Newman's estranged wife having a solid alibi, her daughter's boyfriend became the focus of the police's attention. But the trap which lured Newman to his death seems far too sophisticated for a teenager to come up with, and in any case he seemingly did not have access to any telephone to do so.
