About this deal

But show me a man who hasn't had an affair", while his new wife Caroline Kenneally said: "John made a mistake in the past. There has been no justice for Alison and I have no doubt she met her end at the hands of a mentally unstable fantasist who with the help of her sister somehow manage to avoid her punishment. After the wedding Mrs Shaughnessy moved into her husband's room at the Churchill clinic, it was two doors away from Michelle's room. Neither of them really knew what they were doing but a volunteer army of friends and neighbours offered them money and advice and within three days, they had printed a thousand posters – “Lisa and Michelle are innocent, please help us campaign” – and displayed them around Forest Hill. Suspicion falls on her husband's lover and her sister, but are they getting a fair trial when the media is whipped up i.

The sighting was significant evidence as police believed that this was the time Alison was murdered.

Michelle worked alongside John Shaughnessy, Alison’s husband, at the Churchill Clinic in Lambeth, and the police quickly picked up the gossip about an affair between them.

A number of journalists embarked on a campaign after the trial to try and free the Taylors, believing that the sisters' character showed they must be innocent. Almost a year earlier he had said one of them might have been black and he said they were walking - not hurrying away. He went to the post office, then to the sorting office, found they had moved, went to the new site and found that as a result of the move they had piled up all of their paperwork in a muddled mountain from which he had no hope of retrieving any trace of Alison.On these grounds, and after concluding that the press may have influenced the trial, the Court of Appeal acquitted the Taylor sisters and they were released after spending one year in prison. It was discovered that John had spent the night before his wedding to Alison having sex with Michelle, and Michelle later claimed that they had also slept together on the morning of the wedding. This was despite the fact Lisa claimed to have never been to the flat, which further incriminated the sisters, who had supposedly been together all that afternoon.

Examinations were made of the windows of the flat, the drainpipe outside and the exterior roof, and these proved that no one had attempted forced entry. The mother of the Taylors, Anne Taylor, made an appeal to Ireland, where Alison's family were from and where she was buried, asking for Irish people to support the sisters and saying "I believe my daughters are victims of British Justice just as much as the Birmingham Six or the Guildford Four". Sitting in the cafe, there was a man in the phone box and he looked like one of the CIDs and she went white…By her conversation, she has lied in court and she is frightened.Yet he did agree that the windows in the flat were dirty and that he had had difficulty in getting them cleaned. To reach home, she would have walked to the bus-stop, taken a bus to Waterloo, then a train to Clapham Junction, and walked to her flat. The social worker explained that he had often seen Derek Williams sleeping rough around the Strand and that more recently he had come across him in a squat in Battersea. Michelle Taylor, who claimed to police previously that she and her sister had never been to the Vardens Road flat, suddenly claimed at trial that the reason her and Lisa's fingerprints were found on the back of the front door was because they had been to the flat two or three weeks before the murder to clean the windows. It appeared Alison had fought with her assailant after being attacked, and was still conscious when the killer inflicted another 24 wounds to the front of her body, cutting her neck and windpipe.

Michelle still worked with John at the clinic and, occasionally, when Alison was not around, she slept with him, until the autumn of 1990 when she decided that this was only going to hurt her and she stopped the relationship for good. At the trial it was claimed that the sisters had tricked Alison Shaughnessy into letting them into her flat and then stabbed her to death.It was pointed out in court that, when the Taylor sisters claimed to Tapp to have been waiting for her there since "just after five" that they were already creating an alibi for themselves before the murder had even been discovered at 8:30 p. 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.
