About John Button

John Button is a Western Australian man who was the victim of a significant miscarriage of justice. Button was wrongfully convicted of the manslaughter, by vehicle impact, of his girlfriend, Rosemary Anderson, in 1963. He was sentenced to 10 years in prison, and released in 1968. The conviction was quashed in 2002. The murder for which Button was wrongfully convicted had actually been committed by serial killer Eric Edgar Cooke. He was one of two men to be wrongfully convicted of murders committed by Cooke, the other being Darryl Beamish. Although Beamish had only become a suspect since he was a burglar and convicted child molester, Button was completely innocent of any crime.
