Injustice

True stories of wrongful convictions are by their nature utterly compelling. In Injustice, Clive Stafford Smith details a spectacular example of a bogus conviction, and the many lives ruined by it…A superbly written account of only one case, but one of thousands. – John Grisham
Clive Stafford Smith is an extraordinary lawyer, but he is also a great storyteller and his account of the Kris Maharaj death row case is a powerful thriller, beautifully told. – Helena Kennedy Q.C.
Stafford Smith is a true hero and this book helps explain why. – Jon Ronson
If you believe in the death penalty, read this book. It will change your mind and change your life. A book that zaps through you at 2,000 volts – just like the current used to execute a man in the electric chair. – Susan Hill
An empowering read for anyone who cares about the humane implementation of justice - no matter where it is. – Colin Firth
A terrific read. Stranger than any fiction and much more exciting than Miami Vice. – Geoffrey Robertson Q.C.
Impressive and moving… Until you know how the trial went wrong, how the death penalty is actually carried out, how redress is remote, it is impossible to make a difference. But we can, and we must. Inaction by any one of us is the handmaiden of injustice. – Michael Mansfield Q.C.
