Il caso di Sally Clark, I

19

• Clark's release in January 2003 prompted the Attorney General to order a review of hundreds

of other cases.[1] Two other women convicted of murdering their children, Donna Anthony

and Angela Cannings, had their convictions overturned and were released from prison. Trupti

Patel, who was also accused of murdering her three children, was acquitted in June 2003. In

each case, Roy Meadow had testified about the unlikelihood of multiple cot deaths in a single

family.

• Meadow was struck off the medical register by the General Medical Council in 2005 for

serious professional misconduct, but he was reinstated in 2006 after he appealed. In June

2005, Alan Williams, the pathologist who conducted the postmortem examinations on both

the Clark babies, was banned from Home Office pathology work and coroners' cases for

three years after the General Medical Council found him guilty of "serious professional

misconduct" in the Clark case.[13] This decision was upheld by the High Court in November

2007.[14]

• According to her family, Clark was unable to recover from the effects of her conviction and

imprisonment.[15] After her release, her husband said she would "never be well again".[1] She

was unable to read John Batt's book about her case, Stolen Innocence: A Mother's Fight for

Justice.[1]

• By all accounts a broken woman, Clark was found dead in her home in Hatfield Peverel in

Essex on 16 March 2007.[1][3] It was originally thought that she had died of natural

causes,[8][16] but an inquest ruled that she had died of acute alcohol intoxication, though the

coroner stressed that there was no evidence that she had intended to commit suicide.[3]
