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.

brilliant audiobook if you like true crime
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

An immersive book
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.

Amazing listen
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.

Great mix of interviews and thoughts
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.

Disappointed
I lasted 20 minutes into the audiobook. The sound quality in places was poor and difficult to hear what was being said. The ‘book’ in essence appears to be a series of recorded interviews and felt more akin to a podcast.

Could have been a valuable narrative
This had the promise to be a fascinating and important piece of work on those who have been falsely accused of committing a crime, however the author’s ego makes it nothing more than a narrative of his own story, specifically how he handled his own false accusation better. In the first two interviews the author (and narrator) sees fit to interrupt the narrative to tell us how he wouldn’t have pled ‘no comment’ and how he ‘helped’ another man who has falsely accused making it seem like the only reason the charges were dropped were because of him. While I sympathise with the author’s own situation I feel the narrative would have been better served by letting the stories speak for themselves rather than the constant interruptions to bring it back to him and his own situation and how well he has done.
