Two recent court cases involving women are still in the news today; the women concerned are Amber Heard and Emma-Jayne Magson. The former was a civil case, a defamation action brought by Heard’s ex-husband Johnny Depp. Because Depp is an A List actor and Heard a fairly big star in her own right, the trial […]
The Emma-Jayne Magson case is a different kind of abuse of the appeal process. In March 2016, Magson stabbed James Knight through the heart with a steak knife. At first she denied it, then claimed self-defence, then some concocted mental “disorder”. At her first trial, later that year, Magson didn’t testify. She was convicted and […]
Every criminal justice system worthy of the name has an appeal process. In England, the Attorney General may appeal against an unduly lenient sentence.

Magson […]
In November 2016, Emma-Jayne Magson was convicted of murdering James Knight. This month, she was convicted again. Why was this woman granted a second trial after stabbing a man through the heart, lying about it, and waiting for him to die? Magson was convicted at Leicester Crown Court on March 5 and will be sentenced […]
What is the best way to get away with murder? In the United States especially, it is to wear a badge. Police officers who shoot innocent citizens are seldom brought to book.
