	INNOCENT - Fighting miscarriages of justice
		John Straffen was 21 and had already spent half his life in various institutions when he was first arrested for murder on August 9, 1951.
		John Straffen was born at Borden, Hampshire, on February 27, 1930.
		Straffen's lawyer, Henry Elam, was assiduous and determined, but he was not yet a QC; on the other hand, the Crown's advocate was the solicitor-general, Sir Reginald Manningham-Buller QC, who was known to contemporaries, apparently with good reason, as Bullying-Manner.

	BBC News \| UK \| 50-year inmate 'unfit' for trial
		John Straffen was 22 when he was convicted by a jury at Winchester on 25 July 1952 and sentenced to death for the murder of five-year-old Linda Bowyer.
		In 1952 Sir David Maxwell Fyfe, the then home secretary, reduced Straffen's sentence to life imprisonment on the grounds that he was a "feeble-minded person", according to his solicitors.
		Straffen, from Bath, had previously appeared at Somerset Assizes in October 1951, charged with the murders of nine-year-old Cicely Batstone and six-year-old Brenda Goddard.

		While Straffen admitted to murdering two of the children - crimes for which he was originally sent to Broadmoor on the grounds of insanity - he claims he was framed for the third death which occurred while he was on the run following an escape bid.
		Not only does he have alibis for almost the entire four hours he was free, but his lawyers are claiming that - as he was considered too insane to be tried for the first two murders - he should not have been put on trial for the third killing.
		Straffen has a mental age of nine as a result of suffering encephalitis as a child.

	BBC - h2g2 - The Broadmoor Siren
		The siren was installed following a public outcry at the escape of child-murderer John Thomas Straffen in April 1952.
		Straffen had a history of mental illness and was sent to Broadmoor after he strangled two young girls in Bath in 1951.
		Straffen was controversially tried, found guilty and initially sentenced to hang, but was reprieved by the Home Secretary, and sent instead to a series of maximum security prisons.

		Even when the notorious John Straffen case was current in 1952, the middle-ground papers like the Daily Mail and Daily Express reserved their front pages for foreign affairs and domestic politics; the Straffen trial was reported inside.
		The Straffen case, for example, concerned three child murders and had been the sensation of its time.
		Yet in the years since its resolution (Straffen was condemned to death, but then reprieved by the home secretary, and the sentence commuted to life imprisonment), no newspaper had felt the need even to refer to it.

		Under the terms of the latest ruling, the life prisoners will each have their sentences reviewed by the Parole Board in a full oral hearing, only this time the board’s decision will be final and, following the Stafford ruling, the Home Secretary will have no right to veto its verdict.

		Among Ingelow’s friends and admirers were such figures as John Ruskin and Christina Rossetti (one commentator on Ingelow refers to her as a “lost Pre-Raphaelite).
		Yet biographical and bibliographical research on Ingelow remains inadequate, and without these scholarly building blocks in place, the prospect of a serious re- evaluation of her place in Victorian literature and culture is bleak.
		There are few detailed contemporary accounts of Ingelow’s life; the primary source for Ingelow biography, Recollections of Jean Ingelow and Her Early Friends, recently attributed to Ingelow’s sister Eliza Straffen, is neither objective nor highly accurate.
