The tainted trial of Farah Jama

Beschreibung

In 2008, Farah Jama, a refugee from Somalia, was sentenced to six years behind bars for the rape of a woman. How he had carried out the rape was a mystery to everyone. This book details the compelling account of Jama's incarceration, followed by the eventual overturning of one of the worst miscarriages of justice in Victorian legal history.
