Details

In 100 per cent of criminal trials someone, if not everyone, tells lies. If it wasn't for liars, there wouldn't be trials. When a defendant swears 'to tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth', most judges and barristers believe their evidence will be 'nothing like the truth'. Who can blame them? During years of exposure to a daily diet of murder and mayhem, lies and liars, they've heard it all before.

In Nothing Like the Truth, Nigel Lithman QC provides an entertaining and irreverent insight into life in the criminal courts as barrister, QC and Crown Court judge. Using his experience in true crime, he mixes tales of horror with humour and questions whether it is possible for defendants to get a fair trial.
