"Our law does not tolerate a conviction to be secured by ambush,"
were the words Lord Justice Glidewell used to conclude her appeal
After five days and nights of relentless police interrogation it
was just such an arrest and conviction that was to cause Judith
Ward to spend the next fifteen years as a Category A prisoner in
Durham's grim and claustrophobic High Security Wing. In all it
was to take eighteen years before the evidence which proved her
innocence-yet was not disclose at her trial-finally came to
light.
In this vivid, often harrowing account, she tells the
circumstances of her arrest, her several attempts at suicide once
convicted and her fight to keep sane during one of the harshest
of police sentences. Publishers text
