This, in turn, cast doubt on the fairness of Evans' trial and raised the possibility that an innocent person had been hanged. The controversy prompted the then Home Secretary, David Maxwell-Fyfe, to commission an inquiry led by John Scott Henderson, QC, the Recorder of Portsmouth, to determine whether Evans had been innocent of his crimes and if a miscarriage of justice had occurred.
