Monday’s column for the i newspaper, for those interested, can be found here:
“Convicting the dead shows that we misunderstand the purpose of our criminal courts” https://inews.co.uk/opinion/convicting-dead-shows-misunderstand-purpose-criminal-courts/
And while we’re at it, a couple of other recent pieces for iNews that I forgot to link to:
“Both sides are wrong in the Marine A controversy” https://inews.co.uk/opinion/sides-wrong-marine-controversy/
“At £131,000, Katie Hopkins should realise trolling on Twitter is an expensive hobby” https://inews.co.uk/opinion/comment/131000-katie-hopkins-realise-trolling-twitter-expensive-hobby/
Stephen Ward took an overdose of barbiturates during his trial, and died. The trial wasn’t halted. But then, Ward’s was a show trial, that of a scapegoat for the ‘sex scandals’ of the Macmillan era.
