Today marks the launch of our series on cases featured in Sandra Lean's book  'No Smoke'.

We will proceed with discussions logically through each case so that those who haven't read it will still be able to take part effectively though I thoroughly recommend the book which is both eye-opening and easy to follow.

Many members have stated previously that they have purchased the book already, I would urge these to follow each topic carefully so as not to discuss points from it which may not have been raised already. Having said that discussion is as always open and encouraged, you never know we may as a result come up with things which previously have not been considered. Should that circumstance arise, agents acting on behalf of the individual concerned will of course be contacted.

As part of this series, the previously started topic on Simon Hall's case has been relocated to this thread. Any links you may have posted to it will not be affected.

As this feature progresses a summary topic will begin which will discuss areas highlighted by Sandra which are common in most Miscarriage of justice cases. This will allow views on how to address these issues to be expressed and if possible, campaigns to effect any necessary changes be considered.
