Sara Sharif

Law and Disorder

In 2023, a 10-year-old girl named Sara Sharif was murdered by her father and stepmother, the culmination of longstanding abuse she received. This week, verdicts were passed down in court, but, along with the findings, serious questions have been raised. Could the courts have done more to prevent Sara being left in such a transparently violent environment? What do we do when the apparent rights of the parents and children collide? And should the judge who placed Sara back with her father be named? Helena Kennedy, Nicholas Mostyn and Charlie Falconer gather for this emergency episode of Law & Disorder.
