The book also makes startling revelations about miscarriages of justice, defence attorneys working against their clients, and, sadly, the post-apartheid state's neglect of those who suffered as a result of political executions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"book-contributors\"\u003e\n  \u003cp class=\"contributor-item\"\u003e\n    \u003cspan class=\"contributor-role\"\u003eAuthor\u003c\/span\u003e\n    \u003ca href=\"\/search?q=Author+Peter+Auf+Der+Heyde\" class=\"contributor-link\"\u003ePeter Auf Der Heyde\u003c\/a\u003e\n  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Peter Auf Der Heyde","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47382701310115,"sku":"9781776391875","price":380.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0741\/7836\/3555\/files\/img_9781776391875_75407c95-e380-411b-84c9-8f5794263435.jpg?v=1776584741"}],"url":"https:\/\/graffitibooks.co.za\/collections\/crime.oembed?page=2","provider":"Graffiti Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
