Summary
Brought to you by Penguin.
What is justice? Do our legal courts dispense it? Has our judicial process improved, for the victims, the accused and for society? What more must be done to ensure genuine justice is carried out in future?
Following on the heels of her bestseller Unlawful Killings, Old Bailey judge Wendy Joseph KC places her listeners at the heart of the courtroom drama, and asks questions of the institutions tasked to deliver what is right and fair.
With a text that is vivid, fast-paced and utterly absorbing, with all the hallmarks of a twisty thriller, she keep listeners on tenterhooks as they await the verdicts of some of the most shocking and harrowing cases this murder trial judge has presided over. But, as she contrasts modern courtroom tales with eerily similar cases and miscarriages of justice from many years ago, could the most chilling story of all be that the lessons of the past have yet to be learned?
Unpicking the fatal foibles of our legal system, in Rough Justice Joseph asks British courts to face up to their failings, as she makes her own compelling case for change.
