Her Honour Wendy Joseph KC: Rough JusticeHer Honour Wendy Joseph KC examines four gripping trials in her new book, Rough Justice. She excavates matching historical cases of murder and intrigue. But, as she compares these modern courtroom tales with eerily similar cases and miscarriages of justice from years ago, might the most chilling story of all be that the lessons of the past have yet to be learned?
From the trial of a child charged with disposing of dismembered body parts, to the woman accused of killing her own husband, Wendy sets out how our justice system works.
Until March 2022 Wendy was a judge at the Old Bailey, sitting on criminal cases, trying mainly allegations of murder and other homicide. She sat as a full-time judge from 2007 to 2022. When she moved to the Old Bailey in 2012 she was the only woman amongst sixteen judges, and only the third woman ever to hold a permanent position there. She was also a Diversity and Community Relations Judge, working to promote understanding between the judiciary and many different sectors of our community, particularly those from less privileged and minority groups. She mentors young people, from a variety of backgrounds, who hope for a career in law and has a special interest in helping women.
Her first book, Unlawful Killings, won the Crime Writer’s Association ‘Gold Dagger’ for Non-fiction and was a Sunday Times bestseller.
