Indictment by Mckay Reg Campbell Tc
The startling expose of the 'Ice-Cream Wars' and the truth behind the miscarriage of justice that followed. When T C Campbell and Joseph Steele were found guilty of the horrific murder of the Doyle family in 1984, it concluded a media and police witch-hunt that had begun six months earlier. But as Indictment makes abundantly clear, T C Campbell was 'guilty' before the trial even began, the victim of a miscarriage of justice that is all the more chilling because of the manner in which justice was willfully perverted. Convicted on the flimsiest of hearsay evidence and in one of the darkest episodes in Scottish legal history, T C Campbell remains incarcerated and continues to fight for his release. This book, co-authored with acclaimed investigative journalist Reg McKay, documents in disturbing detail the farcical manner in which Campbell and Steele were 'tried' and the ongoing quest by Campbell to exonerate his name.
The youngest of eight surviving children of ten, T.C. Campbell grew up in the rat-infested slums of Glasgow before progressing through the city's ganglands in his teenage and adult years. Wrongly imprisoned in 1984 for the horrendous Doyle family fire murders, Campbell has remained in the Scottish prison system ever since, fighting against the injustice of his incarceration and the corrupt system which condemns him. For twenty years a social worker in the schemes of Glasgow, Reg McKay woke up in 1998 surrounded by grey-faced men in grey suits. He walked away to write Indictment. An investigative journalist, McKay is also the author of two earlier books, None So Pretty: The Sexing of Rebecca Pine and The Ferris Conspiracy, co-written with Paul Ferris. Reg McKay prefers his present company.
