Reading paths

What are you trying to understand?

The site is large. Pick a path. Each path gives you a three-minute summary, a fifteen-minute route, a deep-dive route and the most-relevant primary documents. No accounts, no tracking, no personalisation — just a curated reading list.

I know nothing about the case

  • ⚠️ Read the case-status banner before you read any of the analysis pages.
  • ⚠️ Court findings, post-conviction expert claims and commentary are different things — this site labels them.

I think she is guilty

  • ⚠️ This path is written to be read in good faith. It does not ask you to change your view, only to see what is now being put before the CCRC.

I think she may be innocent

  • ⚠️ Don't overclaim. The convictions stand. No court or commission has yet ruled the convictions unsafe.
  • ⚠️ Read the families-and-witnesses sensitivity policy before sharing or campaigning.

I want the medical evidence

I want the statistics

I want the Thirlwall Inquiry

  • ⚠️ The Thirlwall Inquiry is not a criminal appeal. It cannot overturn convictions; it examines the institutional response.

I want documents and transcripts

I want to help

  • ⚠️ Read the sensitivity policy before contacting anyone connected to the case.
  • ⚠️ Do not contact families, witnesses or jurors. Do not harass clinicians or hospital staff.

Plain-English explainers

Short orientation pages on the medical, statistical, legal, media and institutional terms the case turns on. Each one points at the longer material rather than replacing it.
