Ambushed-My Story

Ambushed-My Story

"Our law does not tolerate a conviction to be secured by ambush," were the words Lord Justice Glidewll used to conclude her appeal After five days and nights of relentless police interrogation it was just such an arrest and conviction that was to cause Judith Ward to spend the next fifteen years as a Category A prisoner in Durham's grim and claustrophobic High Security Wing. In all it was to take eighteen years before the evidence which proved her innocence-yet was not disclose at her trial-finaaly came to light. In this vivid, often harrowing account, she tells the circumstances of her arrest, her several attempts at suicide once convicted and her fight to keep sane during one of the harshest of police sentences.
