Andrew Evans confessed to the 1972 murder of 14-year-old Judith Roberts after seeing the girl's face in a dream. He was convicted and served more than 25 years. His conviction was overturned in 1997. Under the law, people can be convicted of murder even if they did not commit the violent fatal acts, if they are found to have “encouraged or assisted” the perpetrator. JENGbA argues that the law, which is applied in prosecutions of spontaneous group violence, has led to bystanders, or people who were involved in much lesser violence, being convicted of the most serious crimes. In 2005, thirteen people were finally proven innocent of child molestation after having served four years in prison. A fourteenth died in prison. Only four people were proven guilty. This infamous case, which deeply shook public opinion, is known as the Affaire d'Outreau, the Outreau case, from the name of the city where the victims lived.

An unflinching look at women in the justice system... an important book because it challenges acquiescence to everyday sexism and inspires change" (Kirsty Brimelow The Times, **Books of the Year**)

We all find our own way to feminism. I did not come to the Bar in the early seventies as a feminist looking for slights against women. When I started studying law I was not particularly conscious of women’s issues, except inasmuch as they were part of my general concern about what happened to working-class people when they sought justice. I was a child of the Glasgow tenements with strong class politics, which informed my way of seeing law. When the women’s movement gathered steam I was in my early twenties, I went to the meetings, read the books and carried the banners, but it was at the coal face that I really learned a deep and visceral understanding of feminism, in the cells with my clients, in community advice centres and refuges, and most of all in courtrooms. Those experiences in turn fired memories from my childhood of blighted women’s lives. Alfred Dreyfus was wrongly convicted for treason in 1894. After being imprisoned on Devil's Island, he was proven innocent with the assistance of Émile Zola and definitively rehabilitated only in 1906. See the Dreyfus affair. Brewer was the great-granddaughter of industrialist and philanthropist Sir Macpherson Robertson and was heir to MacRobertson's chocolates. Brewer was killed by an intruder with a tomahawk and scissors in her beachside apartment. Beamish, who is deaf and mute, lived near Brewer. He signed a confession, which he claimed he signed under duress. It was later determined that Brewer's murder was likely committed by Perth serial killer Eric Edgar Cooke, who confessed to the murder prior to his execution. Another man, John Button, was also convicted of murders assumed to have been committed by Cooke. [6] Crown to appeal Morin's acquittal". Ottawa Citizen. March 6, 1986. p.A–12 .

Despite many individuals needing access to lawyers, the cost of a lawyer can often be financially burdensome – and this is where legal aid is often needed. Unfortunately, access to justice has been hit hard by legal aid budget cuts, which has led to the overall budget falling by approximately 40% over the last decade.
