An Introduction to Trial and Error
Some books just fascinate me whether it's about a particular crime, about a species of animal or just the paranormal.
Trial and Error is one such book that I constantly re-read.
To know that there are people who have been wrongly convicted is a travesty; I like to think that the justice system in the UK is better than that.
Trial and Error exposes miscarriages of justice and discovers new evidence.
It is based on a major Channel 4 TV series of the same name which is now defunct.
So much time has passed since 1994
As Trial and Error was published in 1994, so many things could have changed, including the results of the cases featured in this book.
Over time I would like to research the individual cases to see just what affect this book (and the TV series) had on the court cases in general.
Were these convictions overturned?
Was true justice eventually carried out?
One particular case in this book fascinated me more than the others and that was the case of Sheila Bowler.
I would like to publish, on this lens, more information about this case in time.
