Innocent Murder ; The Trial of Sister Jessie McTavish, Edinburgh 1974 (Four Scots Trials Book 2)

Product Information

The odds, whatever they are, cannot prove guilt or innocence, but the contention of her supporters, who include the philosopher of science Ton Derkson and his sister, the doctor Metta de Noo, is that the original statistical claims led the police and the courts to conclude that any verdict other than guilty was unthinkable.

Despite the blood test evidence, McTavish claimed during the 15-day trial that she had only injected the patient with a placebo of sterile water. At about the same time, BRIDGET BOURKE, 88, of Holbeck, Leeds, was admitted to the hospital with a broken right hip. Lucia’s conviction for serial murder, and even the ‘proof’ that there were any murders at all – let alone by whom – were almost entirely based on wrong statistical data, wrongly analysed, and wrongly interpreted, by amateurs. Upon leaving the group, Jesse has collaborated and consulted for projects in the hospitality industry.And, as he foretold, in the early hours of 20 November, 2002, Mrs Hall took a "very serious turn for the worse" and was found choking. Three appeals court judges said that while there was ample evidence to support the conviction, [6] the McTavish's legal team's successful argument—that the judge, Lord Robertson, had inadvertently misled the jury—would prevail. Mr Gregg added: "Norris is not only a dangerous criminal but cunning in his actions, choosing times to commit his crimes carefully – being either early in the morning or at weekends when he knew senior and specialist staffs were not routinely on duty. Despite DeSalvo's full confession and imprisonment, authorities would never put him on trial for the actual murders. Although acquitted, McTavish’s case often is mentioned in lectures at medical colleges in Britain, and is cited in textbooks and academic papers about forensic science and medical malpractice.

I’m not going to go into what I think about the note or anything else as I know it’s been discussed.
