But in 1649 parliament was hard put to find a lawyer with the skill and daring to prosecute a King who was above the law- in the end the man they briefed was the radical barrister, John Cooke.\u003ci\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Cooke was a plebeian, son of a poor farmer, but he had the courage to bring the King's trial to its dramatic conclusion- the English republic. Cromwell appointed him as a reforming Chief Justice in Ireland, but in 1660 he was dragged back to the Old Bailey, tried and brutally executed.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e John Cooke was the bravest of barristers, who risked his own life to make tyranny a crime. He originated the right to silence, the 'cab rank' rule of advocacy and the duty to act free-of-charge for the poor. He conducted the first trial of a Head of State for waging war on his own people - a forerunner of the prosecutions of Pinochet, Milosevic and Saddam Hussein, and a lasting inspiration to the modern world.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"sb-details\"\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/geoffrey-robertson-books\"\u003eGeoffrey Robertson\u003c\/a\u003e (all their books in stock)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublished:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2006\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 256\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/strong\u003e Vintage\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9780099459194\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Vintage","offers":[{"title":"Standard Secondhand — £1.00","offer_id":47909026496689,"sku":"SB-0099459191-C3","price":1.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0618\/2669\/5345\/files\/0099459191.jpg?v=1789163549"},{"product_id":"the-justice-game","title":"The Justice Game","description":"\u003cp\u003eGeoffrey Robertson QC has been at the centre of internationally high-profile legal cases for over three decades.

Late in the afternoon of Wednesday 31 July 1963, Dr Stephen Ward was convicted at the Old Bailey on two counts alleging that he lived on the earnings of a prostitute. He was not in the dock but comatose in hospital. The previous night he had attempted suicide. He died on Saturday 3 August, without regaining consciousness. Many observers of the proceedings thought the convictions did not reflect the evidence and that the trial was unfair, and this book will show that it breached basic standards of justice. Geoffrey Robertson brings his forensic skills and a deeply felt sense of injustice to the case at the heart of the Profumo affair, the notorious scandal that brought down a government.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"sb-details\"\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/geoffrey-robertson-books\"\u003eGeoffrey Robertson\u003c\/a\u003e (all their books in stock)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hardback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublished:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 194\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/strong\u003e Biteback Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9781849546904\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Geoffrey Robertson Q.C.","offers":[{"title":"Standard Secondhand — £1.00","offer_id":47977676996785,"sku":"SB-1849546908-C3","price":1.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}]}],"url":"https:\/\/sellbooks.co.uk\/collections\/geoffrey-robertson-books.oembed","provider":"Sell Books .co.uk","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
