On what has changed since Sally Clark was wrongfully convicted

Four years ago Sally Clark was convicted of the murder of two of her children, babies Christopher and Harry. Famously, at her trial, Sir Roy Meadow said that the chances of two cot deaths occurring in such a family were 1 in 73 million.

Following a long campaign by her family, lawyers and supporters, the verdict against her was overturned a year and a half ago. This was the first in a series of cases - culminating in Angela Canning's successful appeal against her murder conviction - which has brought into question expert opinion on the causes of sudden infant death.

So what has changed since Sally Clark was wrongfully convicted? And how are the Clarks piecing their lives back together with their surviving son?

Steve Clark talks to Jenni about the effect of trial and imprisonment on Sally and what their family life is like now. Jenni also talks to John Batt, the author of a new book on the now infamous trial.
