BBC Radio 4
on BBC Radio 4 FM

by Rib Davis

Helena Kennedy QC presents a second series of four dramatised features about legal cases which led to a change in the law.

A young Jehovah's Witness dies after being stabbed. She has refused a blood transfusion and the question is whether or not she contributed to her own death or whether it was a straight case of murder.
