Clive Stafford Smith with Jon Snow
Clive Stafford-Smith is a pioneering human rights lawyer, and his new book, Injustice, is a profound and sometimes terrifying work about the fragility of human freedom. In 1986, Kris Maharaj, a British businessman living in Miami, was arrested for the brutal murder of his ex-business associates Derrick and Duane Moo Young. Clive Stafford-Smith, a young lawyer working for nothing, was determined to untangle the case, which revealed corruption at every turn. Reading at times like a detective thriller, this book is also the story of Stafford-Smith's personal journey to becoming the founder of Reprieve and a global champion of prisoners' rights.
