In the early 1960s two young Perth men, John Button and Darryl Beamish, were wrongfully found guilty of crimes committed by notorious serial killer Eric Edgar Cooke. This exhibition examines their long path to exoneration in the early 2000s, specifically the evidence that proved instrumental for each man in overturning the conviction that has left lifelong psychological scars.
