 Posted: Fri Mar 16, 2007 8:08 pm Post subject: Sally Clark Who Was Wrongly Jailed Has Died |
 |

Sally Clark - the solicitor wrongly jailed for murdering her two sons - has died, her family has announced.
Mrs Clark, 42, was jailed in 1999 for killing her 11-week-old son Christopher in December 1996 and eight-week-old Harry in January 1998.
A first appeal against the convictions failed in 2000 but she was freed in 2003 after a fresh appeal.
A statement released by the family solicitor said she passed away during Thursday night at her home.
It said she "never fully recovered" from the effects of the "appalling miscarriage of justice" she suffered, which saw her spend three years in jail.
"Sally... was a loving and talented wife, mother, daughter and friend. She will be greatly missed by all who knew her."
The statement also said the matter was in the hands of the coroner and it was too early to provide any further information.
Mrs Clark, from Wilmslow, Cheshire, was convicted of smothering Christopher and shaking Harry to death at the luxury home she shared with her husband Stephen.

Very sad. She would have had a rough time in jail and may have subsequently have been ostracized by the no-smoke-without-fire brigade.
My sympathy to her family.

I cannot begin to know what this poor lady must have gone through, to loose a child is devasting enough, but to loose 2 young children and then to be wrongly accused and convicted of killing them is just beyond my comprehension. My thoughts and wishes go to her family who must be wondering what else can hurt them next.
