"I think if she is innocent she stands a good chance of being acquitted."

I hope so too. But that also implies there's a real possibility that even if totally innocent she may be convicted.

As happened to too many people in both our countries. The Guildford Four, The Birmingham Six, the Maguire Family, Timothy Evans...and there's a long long list of lesser known names to add to that.

"If she is innocent, she will no doubt be found innocent". No, not "no doubt".

And behind the individual case there stands the new doctrine that the state can monitor what goes on between a lawyer and a client. A very subversive doctrine that I cannot imagine your Founding Fathers tolerating for a moment.
