Shorty - Peter Breen

Shorty: Mistaken Identity or Stitch Up? is the story of Stephen 'Shorty' Jamieson, a man who has spent 37 years in prison for brutal crimes he has always said he didn't commit. Born with foetal alcohol spectrum disorder and made a ward of the state as an infant, he was arrested with four juveniles for the abduction and murder of Janine Balding despite the juveniles telling police, "You've got the wrong Shorty."Stephen was convicted after signing a contested confession in Australia's first criminal trial using DNA evidence, yet critical DNA linking another suspect to the crimes was never tested, leaving questions about the wrong Shorty. Now with modern DNA technology, the fresh and compelling evidence could finally prove that police arrested the wrong Shorty. Shorty is a gripping true story of injustice, disputed evidence and a man's neverending fight to clear his name.
