What were the short term effects of trial and execution of Derek Bentley The trial and execution of Derek Bentley was a major controversy in British criminal history. Derek Bentley was a 19 year old British teenager who was hanged for the murder of police officer, Sidney Miles under the common criminal purpose “joint enterprise”. The reason the execution was so controversial was partly because Bentley had a mental age of 11 due to an accident that happened to him during the Second World War as a child. It was also partly the fact that the murder was done by Bentley’s accomplice Christopher Craig, 16 but due to the law was not liable to be hanged as under 18’s could not face capital punishment and Bentley was sentenced to death partly based on an interpretation of the phrase “Let him have it” which Bentley allegedly said to Craig and therefore “mentally aiding the murder of Police Constable Sidney Miles”.
