Description

PROLOGUE In February 1990, Ann Ming found her daughter Julie Hogg's body hidden behind a bath panel in her Teesside, England home. (1) She had been missing since the previous November. (2) The British government charged and indicted William Dunlop with her murder. (3) Following two mistrials in May and October 1991, the Crown Court declared Dunlop "not guilty." (4) In 1999, while incarcerated for an unrelated offense, Dunlop repeatedly admitted to having murdered Hogg. (5) He confessed to his prison nurse, wrote letters referencing his guilt to friends, and in a child custody proceeding stated, "I have admitted that I was responsible for the death of Julie Hogg. I stood trial at Newcastle Crown Court for her murder and was acquitted. I denied the offence and I accept that I lied." (6) Barred from re-indicting Dunlop for homicide by the historic common law prohibition on double jeopardy, (7) the Crown prosecution took the "unusual" step of charging him with perjury. (8) Based on the foregoing evidence, Dunlop was convicted of perjury in 2000 and sentenced to six years in prison. (9)
