The Nicholas Cases

Meer over het boek

"This book relates the stories of English lives that have been destroyed by malfunctioning criminal justice processes. In theory, wrongful conviction should not necessarily ensue from wrongful arrest and charge, but in practice there is a dismal inevitability about it. The trial process is supposed to be the mechanism for separating the guilty from the not-guilty; but it has been bettered, betrayed and broken, in the most part through imprudent political meddling."-- Page xiv
