Sir: Media sensationalism on the part of certain sections of the American press and the demonisation of Louise Woodward by the Boston Globe and Boston Herald mean that it has been well nigh impossible for her to obtain a fair trial. It is not so much Louise Woodward who was on trial in Boston but the whole ghastly apparatus of the American criminal legal system.
