Sally Clark
Case history written in January 2000 by Sally's father, Frank Lockyer
Evidence from hospital, health visitors, neighbours, and the nanny
It was agreed by ambulancemen, nurses and hospital doctors that
there was not a mark on either baby on arrival at the
hospital. It was agreed by all the Defence medical
team that the abuse alleged by Williams could not be
occasioned without leaving marks. It was agreed by the
clinic staff that both babies were bonny and thriving
when regularly examined, including a few hours before
death.
It was agreed by midwives, health visitors,
neighbours, the daily nanny, and husband Steve that
there was at all times a strong bond of love between
mother and child. It was agreed by the medical
witnesses on both sides (again except Williams) that
the cause of both deaths was
"unascertained." The public cannot have
known this as the newspapers reported only the
Prosecution evidence. Neither could they know that
Williams' pathology was described variously as "a
blood bath"; as "cavalier, proved wrong in
every area"; "never seen so many
inconsistencies in a pathology report"; "no
weight can be attached to any of the findings in a lot
of contradictions." This was summarised
by counsel as "That catalogue of errors of
findings and interpretations fills me with horror that
this is the foundation of this woman being charged
with murder." Yet Sally was convicted on
both counts and is now serving two sentences of life
imprisonment. How could this have happened?
