  Miscarraige of justice is often used to describe a jury's verdict quashed by the Court of Appeal. Yet many successful appeals have resulted from defects in the trail process or misdirections by the trial judge rather than from misjudgements by the jury. This book aims to set the record straight, putting the case for an unbiased perspective, highlighting the true value of circumstantial evidence, and questioning whether the jury system can survive contemporary society.
