Description
Davis takes readers on a guided tour through the story of Keli Lane and her conviction for murdering her daughter Tegan. Along the way, Davis dispels the myths and loose ends that have grown up around the case and conducts a fact-check of a recent ABC documentary.
Legal concepts and terms are demystified. Readers gain a lawyer's insights into evidence, trials, legal representation, roles of judge, jury and appeal courts that help to explain Lane's conviction.
This book is for readers who want an authoritative and accurate account of the Keli Lane story, and for students of law and journalism interested in the interface between media and the law.
