Sally Clark Part II Meadows is re-instated

Professor Roy Meadows has been re-instated see BBC report here

The British system of Justice is adversarial, it is the job of the defence to challenge the evidence of the prosecution and to call witnesses to challenge any such evidence.

They failed to do this at the trial of Sally Clark - significantly the Jury did challenge with a written question to the Judge the pathologists post mortem evidence.

Discarding the original QC at the Appeal, Sally Clark was acquitted and released from prison.

The following Book Review provides a more detailed review of the points raised by today's judgement.

Of course the deal stitched up by the Judge and the respective legal teams to suppress evidence and to prevent the introduction of character witnesses ensured that the Jury were denied all the evidence required to make a fully informed decision.

John Batt , a family friend and solicitor for the Clarks (and author with Sally Clark of the book reviewed) said: "The family has been consistent right the way through - all they have wanted is that those who were responsible for this miscarriage of justice be called to account for what they did."

"The fundamental point that the Clark family made is they wanted the people who put her in jail wrongly, for two heinous crimes that never happened, be called publicly to account for what they did and that has happened." the BBC item reports.

Perhaps they might now start pursuing their lawyers with the relish, and determination that they and others have pursued Professor Meadows.
