Psychiatrist speculated she had PTSD from childhood trauma but trial offered few clues
It took a jury just three and a half hours to find Eleanor Williams unanimously guilty of perverting the course of justice. But one question they were never asked to consider is why she told so many lies. Why had she framed so many innocent men and what had happened in her past which might have contributed to her behaviour?
The trial offered few clues. She was the only defence witness and continues to maintain her innocence, though in an apologetic letter to the judge on Tuesday admitted having “done wrong on some of this”.
