I Fought the Law is the powerful true story of a mother’s relentless fight for justice following the disappearance of her beloved daughter Julie.

It tells the story of Ann Ming, played by Sheridan Smith, who managed to overturn Britain’s 800-year-old double jeopardy law, which prevented people being from tried twice for the same offence. This groundbreaking campaign led to a historic legal reform and, ultimately, to a life sentence for Julie’s killer nearly two decades after her murder.
