As one of just a few judges licensed to try murder cases at the Old Bailey, the author has presided over many of the high-profile cases that all too often grab our attention in dramatic media headlines—for every unlawful death tells a story. But, unlike most of us, a judge doesn't get to turn the page and move on. Nor does the defendant, or the family of the victim, nor the many other people who populate the court room.

When Charles Dickens wrote these tragic lines he was penning fact, not fiction.

Two men were particularly striking: James Pratt and John Smith, who had been convicted of homosexuality.
