‘Scotland Yard on trial’: a question of leadership and accountability.

‘Scotland Yard on trial’: a question of leadership and accountability.

In a grand house in South London, a group of seven remarkable people gathered together for the first time - all victims of or witnesses to gross injustices at the hands of the police. Award-winning Daily Mail crime writer Stephen Wright spoke to victims of bungled cases, corruption and the inept investigation of false abuse claims - from Baroness Doreen Lawrence, whose son Stephen was brutally killed by racist thugs in 1993, to Lady Brittan, whose late husband Leon (an ex Tory Home Secretary) was hounded by police over ludicrous false sex abuse allegations, and Alastair Morgan, whose brother, private eye Daniel Morgan, was the victim of an infamous (and still unsolved) axe murder in 1987. All had one thing in common - they felt they had been failed by the Metropolitan Police, and were to sign a letter calling for Dame Cressida Dick’s tenure as Commissioner to not be extended and a shake up of the police watchdog.
