Diana Inquest: The Documents the Jury Never Saw

Diana Inquest: The Documents the Jury Never Saw

Diana Inquest: The Documents the Jury Never Saw exposes a massive suppression of evidence at the 2008 London inquest into the deaths of Princess Diana and Dodi Fayed. This book - edited by investigative writer John Morgan - publishes for the first time over 100 documents that were withheld from the inquest jury by Lord Justice Scott Baker. It then goes on to list a further 400 items of vital evidence that Baker concealed from his own jury. The withheld documentation is so critical to the case that it calls into question whether the jury were actually in a position to achieve an informed verdict.
Included in the 700 page book are the original official police statements of French experts Professor Dominique Lecomte and Dr Gilbert PÃ©pin. Lecomte was the pathologist who conducted the controversial autopsy of Mercedes driver Henri Paul and PÃ©pin was the toxicologist who carried out the testing on the autopsy samples. Both of these crucial witnesses refused to appear at the London inquest. Judge Baker had those statements but failed to have them read out or shown to the jury. Those police statements, along with many other crucial documents, are made public for the first time in this volume.
The revelations in The Documents the Jury Never Saw indicate that Scott Baker's inquest was more significant for the documents that weren't shown, than for those that the jury saw.
John Morgan, who has authored a series of books on the Princess Diana inquest, has stated that the London inquest was not run by an independent judge. "The documents in this book are so central to the case, yet royal coroner Scott Baker prevented his jury from seeing them. It could be argued that there was no intention to allow that jury to get to the bottom of what happened in the Alma Tunnel on 31 August 1997."
When this current book is read in the context of Morgan's Diana Inquest series, it enables the reader to understand the significance and reliability of the testimony of certain witnesses.
