John Batt has written extensively about the law, mainly for television in the YTV drama series, The Main Chance and Justice. A solicitor himself, this is the first time he has written about a case in which he was personally involved. He has known Sally Clark all her life and was at her side, at trial, with a watching brief for the family. For the three and a half years, he worked full-time as part of her appeal team, visiting Sally regularly in prison. He lives in Surrey with his wife Jane. He has two daughters, Gina and Joanna, and a son, Charles, with three grandchildren in America.
This fascinating book burns with moral outrage * The Observer * Makes haunting reading * The Sunday Times * Moving and harrowing * The Sun * This book is a disturbing read. It is a terrible indictment of the criminal system, the legal profession, and our own experts * British Medical Journal * Well written and has the same unputdownable quality as a good novel. But a novel it is not. What happened to Sally makes you want to spit... This is a book that should be read by all solicitors * Solicitors Journal *
