 The Man from the Pru (1990) (TV)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
This film is actually shot largely in Wolverton Street, where the murder was committed within the Anfield District of Liverpool, with Jonathan Pryce performing incisively in the titular role as William Herbert Wallace, thoroughly respectable husband of Julia and collection agent employed by the Prudential Assurance Society.
For the first time, a guilty verdict for homicide was overthrown when a court of appeals determined that the original judgement declared against Wallace had been made contrary to a preponderance of evidence that was plainly in his favour, and he was therefore saved from being executed, instead being released from prison.
Subsequently, it has been disclosed that the violent "Anfield Housebreaker" was active at the time of the Wallace murder; also under discussion have been the jury's brief (one hour) deliberation and (as shown in the film) misapprehension of the presiding judge's remonstrances that were slanted toward Wallace's innocence.
