For more than quarter of a century Harriet Wistrich has fought the corner of people from all walks of life let down by our justice system. When Sally Challen won her appeal to overturn her conviction for the murder of her coercively controlling husband, it was with Harriet Wistrich at her side. When victims of taxi driver and serial rapist John Worboys successfully took the Metropolitan Police to court for their investigative failures, and then, four years later, helped to hold the Parole Board to account for their decision to grant his early release from prison, the solicitor acting for them was Harriet Wistrich. This book tells the shocking stories of some of those who have come to her for assistance.
