Bentley, it was reported had a mental age of twelve, the police had written his statements, as he couldn’t read or write. He was in police custody when Craig shot PC Miles, killing him. Goddard in his summing up misrepresented the law and distorted the facts. The Jury was pressured in finding both Craig and Bentley guilty, but as Craig was only sixteen, he couldn’t face the gallows, Bentley was nineteen and was sentenced to death, even though the Jury had asked for mercy.
