Camden New Journal - LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Published: 29 January 2009
 
The cloud over justice

• IMPOSSIBLE to feel at ease about the outcome of Allan Chappelow murder prosecution despite the New Journal’s News Special (January 22).
Of course, a jury that had heard all the evidence, including a very substantial proportion that was heard in secret, reached a verdict, the narrative for those of us not thus privileged remains significantly and seriously unintelligible.
Justice, intelligible justice, has clearly not remotely “been seen” to have been done. An accused person – whoever they may be – would be virtually unable to fight back publicly to overturn such a conviction should they have been wrongly convicted after such a trial. Given that wrongful convictions do occur, that must be a matter of serious concern at the end of such prosecution.
