An Incredible True Story Of Corruption, Injustice And The Triumph Of The Human Spirit.
Roseanne Catt is the victim of the one of the greatest miscarriages of justice in Australian criminal history. She has spent ten long years in prison, falsely charged with attempting to murder her husband, Barry Catt, on charges trumped up by him and his friend, a disgraced former policeman who was responsible for laying the charges and overseeing the investigation. A growing public outcry saw her released on special bail in 2001. Since then Roseanne's extraordinary case has been the subject of an 18-month judicial inquiry, resulting in a damning report delivered to the Court of Criminal Appeal in late 2004.
This is the shocking true story of how an innocent woman came to be the longest-serving female prisoner in New South Wales, and of her long fight for justice. It's a story of corruption and brutality - both inside and outside of jail - that will horrify and outrage, and it's a story of Roseanne's courage and grace that will uplift and inspire.
