Book Description
To a lawyer, injustice is the unfair conduct of a trial. This book looks into several notorious cases of supposed injustice: Socrates, Joan of Arc, Charles I, Admiral Byng, Lord Haw-Haw, and the Nuremberg Trials. It looks for answers to the legal question ‘was the trial fair?’, and the humane question ‘was the accused guilty or innocent?’.
