Her Honour Wendy Joseph KC examines four gripping trials she presided over in her new book, Rough Justice . She excavates matching historical cases of murder and intrigue. But, as she compares these modern courtroom trials with eerily similar cases and miscarriages of justice from years ago, might the most chilling story of all be that the lessons from the past have not been learned?

From the trial of a child charged with disposing of dismembered body parts, to the woman accused of killing her own husband, Wendy sets out how our justice system works. Being only the 3rd female judge to preside at The Old Bailey, she is also known as a standout public speaker.
