who was wrongfully imprisoned for the death of her children based on the evidance of Sir Roy Meadow, does anyone else agree that the justice system now has her blood on their hands.
She was said never to have recovered from her ordeal, and now after losing her for 3 years, her family have lost her permanatley.

It is so sad and her family must be devasted. It must be absolutely devastating to lose 2 babies and then when you are meant to be grieving and needing your family to support you the so called justice system puts you in jail for 3 years!! The whole system is a mess and has been a mess for many years but how many more innocent people have to die or get locked up before something gets done about it????

It's horrendous and quite typical of our so called justice system. I am reading a book about Sandra Gregory currently (imprisoned in Thailand and then brought back to the UK for attempting to bring in a small amount of heroin). Nobody denies she should have been punished, but the irony is she said the british system was much worse than the Thai (and that's clearly not because of the conditions). I imagine being banged up for killing your children you would picked on no end and the psychological torture must be unbearable, especially when you are innocent.
I only hope her husband can come to terms with things so that at least he can have some kind of life.

I would disagree that the system is a mess. She was convicted due to unreliable evidence, but the system was robust enough to enable her to appeal and, eventually, gain release.
Also depressing to see the inevitable "blame Tony Blair" line in one answer. One of the strengths of our democracy is that the executive and the judiciary are separate. This whole issue was a matter of legal process, not political interference.
Sad news nonetheless.

Sir Roy Meadow - wasn't he the chappie who testified that the odds against two cot deaths occurring in the same family was 73,000,000:1?

I don't have a clue who these people are, but I can tell you that the justice system has a lot of blood on their hands either through mistakes or corruption. It is run by human beings, and human beings aren't perfect. From your retelling of the situation, this sounds like a sad and unfortunate series of events. But there are so many stories like this that go untold.

I didnt know that she had died but my heart goes out to her family. This tragedy could have been avoided if the evidence had been properly looked at when she was on trial.
I hope her family have the space to grieve and deal with this tragedy alone

It is very sad that she has died, the people responsible for her conviction should be held to account. It's also another sound argument against capital punishment.

Just read the story on the bbc website, the poor women. It is so sad that this as happened to somebody so young.
Will Tony Blair care or do anything? i dont think so.
