I hate Alison, the unwashed bitch. My Dream solution would be for Alison to disappear as if she never existed and then maybe i could give everything to the man i love.These words of hate scribbled in a diary helped convict sisters Michelle and Lisa Taylor of the savage murder of newly wed Alison Shaughnessy. Alison had been stabbed 54 times during a frenzied attack in her own home.At their sensational trial the prosecution alleged that 21yearold Michelle Taylor who had been having an affair with Alisons husband had murdered Alison in a jealous rage and that she was aided in her brutal attack by her 18yearold sister Lisa.The case was reported in the tabloid press under lurid headlines such as Love Crazy Mistress Butchered Rival Wife. The jury found the Taylor sisters guilty of murder Incredibly, having served less than one year of their sentences, the Taylor sisters were freed thanks in part to a exhaustive campaign by Bernard OMahoney.Bernard, having witnessed their trial, was convinced that a major miscarriage of justice had occurred and with his help their appeal was successful. Following their release OMahoney sat down with the sisters to write a book about their ordeal It was at this time that he and Michelle Taylor began a passionate affair.He first became suspicious when she began behaving towards him in the obsessive way the prosecution alleged she had behaved towards her former lover, Alisons husband. As OMahoney tried to extricate himself from the affair he stumbled across an incriminating letter that could mean only one thing: Michelle Taylor was guilty of Alisons murder.Following a heated confrontation she finally broke down and confessed her guilt. The sisters fought for years in the high court to gag OMahoney. But in a legal battle almost as dramatic as the one that saw the sisters freed, OMahoney won the case.The Dream Solution tells the story of his two crusades the first to prove the sisters innocence, the second to be allowed to tell the world of their guilt. At a time when a series of highprofile cases have undermined public confidence in the judicial system, this book will provide incontrovertible proof of a different sort of miscarriage of justice one in which the guilty have been set free.
