Michael O'Brien was imprisoned for eleven years for a crime he didn't commit - the Cardiff Newsagent Murder. In this book he reveals all about the police incompetence and scapegoating which landed him as an innocent man in prison. It also tells of his tooth-and-nail fight through the highest courts, not only to get himself free, but to gain the highest compensation payout of its kind. While in prison, Michael lost not only his freedom but everything he'd ever had, including his wife, his child, and even his health. It has taken him years to rebuild his life. But he did gain something from his time inside; a self-taught knowledge of Law, and the burning desire to help others fight for justice. Amazon International People's Choice Award 2014

Rare Book
Read Michael's unforgettable story and you will never again trust the British justice system. --ARS Review
A total death of justice. For the victim, what does that mean, what does it feel like hour by hour, day by day? None of us know who have not had it happen to us. Is it like being buried alive, conscripted into a regime? Is it to feel, day by day, that you are a dead man walking? And how does that fit. How does any human being deal with finding himself alive, but dead to the world, where he is intended to remain possibly for the rest of his life? --Gareth Pierce
