520			_aACCUSATION is Mary Fielding's true account of a nightmare that begins one ordinary evening with a knock at her front door. Minutes later three police officers lead away her husband and later that night, Steve is charged with two counts of indecency. What is his wife and the mother of his two daughters to believe? And which is worse: that her husband is guilty as charged or that an innocent man is subjected to such an ordeal? After a two-and-a-half year battle that threatens the Fieldings' emotional and financial survival, Steve is spat out of a system that Mary now sees as deeply flawed, shockingly unjust. It's easy to believe in justice, to trust police to investigate and judges to deliver sound judgments. Until, that is, someone in your family is arrested, charged and tried. Then that belief can be shattered forever. ACCUSATION is a compelling story told with remarkable courage.
