Miscarriages of justice from days gone past. There are many stories of injustice visit some of the great ones of so called British justice starting with
Edith Thompson.
Murder most shocking
IN the 1920s, judges still had the power to employ the ultimate sanction on those who came before them - death.
Miscarriages of justice at that time, could literally mean the difference between life and death for those wrongly convicted of murder, with an appeal, and eventual release, not yet an option.
