Join journalist Julie Szego in conversation with Andrew Nette. In July 2008, 21-year-old Farah Jama, a refugee from Somalia, was sentenced to six years behind bars for the rape of a middle-aged woman as she lay unconscious in a Doncaster nightclub.
Precisely how he had carried out the rape in the busy venue was a mystery to everyone. The Tainted Trial of Farah Jama details the compelling account of Jama’s incarceration, followed by the eventual overturning of one of the worst miscarriages of justice in Victorian legal history.Where: St Kilda Library
