About this listen

What would you do if you were accused of something terrible?

What if it happened when you were vulnerable, in an unfamiliar country, or under a media spotlight?

How would your life and the lives of the people you love be affected?

You Are Accused is an urgent piece of investigative journalism by Raphael Rowe—himself falsely convicted for a murder he did not commit—exploring the frightening world of accusations in the modern world.

Join Raphael as he meets the people who have been through the transformative experience of accusation. Hear their stories first-hand and discover the impact that an accusation can have; on those accused, on their families, friends, and communities.

Through deep dives into headline cases such as the UK Post Office scandal, infamous cases including Amanda Knox, as well as social media, sexual allegations, and legal experts fighting for change, Raphael shines a light on cases from the UK, US and beyond.

Loved this. The contributors from the accused to the criminal and justice contributors really gave a good mixed and balanced view on what people have lived through and the repercussions on their lives.
Raphael ties up the interviews with great insights into his own life and is a really great listen and insight into something that never hopefully happens to you.

Great mix of interviews and thoughts

This book had me gripped within the first few words, it’s a very eye opening book and makes you wonder what all the people were going through when in this situation.

Amazing listen

Raphael Rowe shows how good he is at getting people to tell their stories in this fascinating audio-documentary.
Just like on worlds toughest prisons he draws people out so they tell their stories, some of these are really shocking and you can hear how much the experience has affected people.
I loved the input from forensic psychologist, police and lawyers who gave another point of view and showed how many problems we have in the justice system.
I going to listen to Raphael Rowe's autobiography next to hear more of his own story.
overall really well put together, interesting and enjoyable listen. thank you Raphael for the work you are doing well done mate

I listened to the whole of the book over the weekend, I was enthralled so could not put it down. I did have an invested interest as one of my closest friends was interviewed but putting that aside I felt that Raphael covered the subject of being falsely accused in a great amount of depth. I had myself thinking about our criminal justice system and fairness long after I stopped listening. I have left the book actually with a huge faith in people and life which considering what many of them had been through, is surprising. Most of the people interviewed who had either directly or indirectly experienced being falsely accused of a crime but had a massive amount of positivity about their future and peace with what had happened. I think that is commendable and is where my faith in people and life stems from.

The only part I found niggling is when Raphael gave advice to Cassie (after her interview where she was unhappy about stories around her father’s experience) he advised her to ‘focus on Cassie’s own narrative and not others as we cannot control others’. This was also after Cassie expressing the inability to have peace without justice being served. I found this contradicting after he had just interviewed David whose career is centred on ‘saving celebrities reputations’. Is this not what Cassie was also trying to do?

Overall a brilliant book, everyone’s voices I feel were heard.

An immersive book
