Senior Associate Anna Ford is currently working on the appeal of a client who was convicted of the murder of her new born child. The case has received particular attention in the media given its wider implications for the proper application of the Infanticide Act in situations where women cause the death of their child whilst in a post natal condition and also how women are treated within the criminal justice system generally. Anna has recently contributed to an article in The Times about these subjects which you can read here.
