Short summary

Barbara Truscott, whose husband is a solicitor and aspiring politician, is accused of the theft of a tin of salmon from a supermarket. There is no question that Mrs. Truscott took the salmon but the case hinges on whether she intended to do so. The prosecution assert that she did and the only reason she has pleaded not guilty is because her husband has told her to. The defence case is that Mrs. Truscott is a troubled woman who was confused on the day because of the medication she was taking - she did not know what she was doing.
