Sir roy meadow's reputation as a heroic defender of children took 25 years to build, but only one to demolish. Last January, the Court of Appeal decided that the paediatrician's testimony in the 1999 murder trial of Sally Clark—when he had proffered some clumsy thoughts about the odds of two infant deaths in a single family-was dodgy. Since then, two other criminal prosecutions that relied on Sir Roy's testimony have been overturned. And on January 19th, an entire medical and legal edifice collapsed.
