Senior Associate Anna Ford is currently working on the appeal of our client, Paris Mayo, who was convicted of the murder of her new born child when she was 15 years old. We are currently advising on an appeal against that conviction. 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 children whilst in a post natal condition and how women are treated within the criminal justice system. Anna has recently contributed to an article in The Times about these subjects which you can read here.
For more information on the case or the work we undertake in our general crime Department please contact us on 020 7025 4450.
