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 Pepin. Lecomte was the pathologist who
conducted the controversial autopsy of Mercedes driver Henri Paul
and Pepin 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.
