Adolph Beck case
The Adolph Beck case was a notorious case of wrongful conviction by mistaken identity, brought about by unreliable methods of identification, erroneous – though probably sincere – eyewitness testimony, and the failure of the English legal system to seek out the truth in its rush to convict. As one of the most famous causes célèbres of its time, the case led to the creation of the Court of Criminal Appeal in 1907.
