Description
James Hanratty's case, one of the most infamous in British true crime history, was finally closed in 2002 with the DNA evidence from the Forensic Science Service deemed sufficient to prove his guilt. However, this verdict was not without controversy, as campaigners had long argued that Hanratty was innocent. This book delves into the court's deliberations and the subsequent events that followed, revealing a worrying lack of balance in the assessment of the evidence.
The author, Robert Harriman, examines the court's decision-making process and the implications of the DNA evidence used to condemn Hanratty. The book raises important questions about the reliability of forensic DNA evidence and its impact on the criminal justice system. With stark implications for those who practice law in this country, this book is a worthwhile read for anyone interested in the darker side of justice.
Published in 2023, this book is a damning indictment of the DNA evidence used to convict James Hanratty. It is not a light read, but one that should be carefully considered by anyone who practices law or is interested in the complexities of the justice system.
