In October 1984 T.C. Campbell and Joseph Steele were found guilty of murdering six members of the Doyle family in a deliberately set house fires. Both men have always protested their innocence and in "Indictment: Trial by Fire" Campbell and investigative journalist Reg McKay documented the deliberate miscarriage of justice and the farcical trial that led to their incarceration. This title is the story of T.C.'s life in prison. The beatings and torture he withstood time after time, the solitary confinement and hunger strikes, and his indefatigable struggle against the machinations of the judiciary system. These struggles culminated in the courts granting him interim freedom on December 11 2001, pending an appeal that is his final chance to have his name cleared.
