Read by Paul Ansdell.

Every day, criminal barrister Alex McBride stands up in court and attempts
to save people from conviction, prison, even a lifetime behind bars.
Sometimes it.s a hopeless case. Sometimes he has the chance to right a wrong.
But mostly his clients are just plain guilty. In Defending the Guilty, McBride
takes us behind the scenes of Britain.s criminal justice system. He introduces
us to its extraordinary characters and arcane eccentricities, and tells
astonishing stories of courtroom triumph and defeat. Whether he.s defending
hapless teenagers at Harlow Youth Court or prosecuting gold bullion robbers
at the Old Bailey, these hair-raising tales reveal that justice rarely operates
in quite the way we expect. Throughout, McBride grapples with that most
important of questions: how do we ensure that the guilty are convicted and
the innocent walk free?
