Linda worked for the police as an informer, helping
to convict dangerous drug gangs. It was this secret
work- which made her many powerful enemies- that
she believes led to her downfall.
In 2001 Linda was convicted of a horrific crime of
which she has always proclaimed her innocence.
She was accused of conspiring to murder one of
her neighbors to abduct her new born baby. Her
trial however was utterly flawed. The main evidence
against her was given by the convicted criminals who
carried out the murder. The flimsiest of evidence was
allowed to stand because her defense lawyer –one of
the worst in recent American history- failed to see her
until two weeks before the trial. He was so disinterested
in the case he failed to interrogate prosecution witnesses
and to call to the stand those who would most certainly
have saved Linda's life.

This is a travesty that can happen to defendants who
are poor and black in Texas. They are the ones who
end up on Death Row. But in Linda's case the injustice
was made worse by the fact that her British citizenship
was never recognized by the Texan authorities. If it had,
she would have been supported and saved by the British
government and the British people.
