The possible death from alcohol occurred to me as soon as I read this - I'm not sure if my memeory of her trial is accurate but wasn't one of the prosecution's key accusations against Sally Clarke that she drank heavily?

I've no idea if she drank before the sad deaths of her babies or as a result of the first one or as a side effect from post natal depression or what but it couldn't have helped her state of mind.

Whatever the facts, if she was an alcoholic, it's a disease that deserves constructive help, not a prison cell.
