Dr George Julian: 'Tweeting Justice'

A learning disabled woman is, on average, likely to die 27 years before her non-disabled peer. The figure is similar for men. This episode features a conversation with George Julian, an open justice journalist who wants to change what she sees as often preventable premature death. She brings awareness to these cases, by live tweeting coronial inquests. ‘My role is to amplify and broadcast and get what happens out there so there is that public record of what happened’. In this powerful conversation, George argued that the current state of the coronial service was ‘appalling’. She added that ‘the mother blame, the family blame, the blaming the person who has died that goes on’ in what she says is an ‘adversarial process is atrocious’.  www.thejusticegap.com
