Summary *For legal reasons this program cannot be broadcast in Queensland*Graham Stafford served almost fifteen years in jail for murdering a 12 year old girl - a crime he has always claimed he did not commit.Instead of quietly merging back into society upon his release four years ago, he has continued to argue his innocence and seek redress from the legal system that incarcerated him.He was supported by a diverse and determined band of followers who continued to question the evidence that originally convicted him.Graham Stafford made legal history when he became the first person in Australia to gain access to an Appeal Court for an unprecedented third time. On Christmas Eve last year, the conviction was quashed and a retrial ordered.With his future again hanging in the balance, Graham Stafford is speaking out, exclusively and for the first time
