Book Review of A Second Chance for Justice: The Prosecutions of Gabe Watson for the Death of Tina Thomas
Abstract:
The authors lucidly takes up Tina's murder case by dividing the book into three clear and precise chapters devoted to stages of nine long years of trial which throughout the reading of book raised reader's eyebrows in astonishment or sending to the world of dashed hopes. Right from the unfortunate day of fatal dive on 22 Oct 2003 in Queensland, Australia till 23 Feb 2012, and the day on which Gabe Watson got acquitted by Tommy Nail without going for Jury trial or letting defense present all of the remaining but vital evidence raises deep concern with regards to credibility in contemporary justice system. This book not only explored the word 'justice' as dependent variable on budget and attorney's skills of presentation but as we reach to the end it creates a vacuum in minds of the reader as to what's next in life of Gabe Watson and how could the family of Thomas live with the doubt seeing their daughter's killer walk free.
