Story.
About time too, I reckon. As the CoA say, a few women might possibly get away with it, but in any civilised society that is preferable to innocent women being jailed for life, and having their children taken from them, for crimes they did not commit.
It's just a shame they didn't go even further and force Professor Roy Meadow to stand trial for perverting the course of justice for what he did- he is a scumbag who deservs to be in prison for a very, very long time.

These women who have been wrongly accused must have been to hell and back.
most of these women have had the support of family freinds gp's etc ...so the evidence has actualy pointed to innocence.
imagine being charged with murder and there is no evidence at all as to how the person died ..none! just one guy stands up and says that in his opinion ...
how the hell has a situation like that ever been allowed to exist?
they reckon there could be as many as 50,000 kids in care cos of these cases ...and it's too late to now reunite them with their real parents. fucking sad. very very sad.
We should also ask why Judges allowed his evidence to stand...
I'm certainly pleased to see this ruling though...
Its common doctrine in the judiciary to believe the testimonies of expert witnesses unless the testimonies are found to be false. The judges, basically, are scared of the medical profession, and dont ever want to query it unless they absolutely have to.
Medical negligence is something that annoys me greatly, and the way the law treats it makes my blood boil.
Tell me about it :rolleyes:
What actually worries me is that the juries didn't give as much credence to the medical opinion which suggested that it is even more statisically unlikely to have mulitple murders than mulitple cot deaths...
