David Southall

Professor David Patrick Southall OBE is a British paediatrician, who in 2004 was found guilty of misconduct by the General Medical Council after falsely accusing a man of murder. After watching a television program about Sally Clark he contacted police to say that Clark's husband had probably killed her 2 children. He had had no prior involvement in the case.

In February 2007 Lord Goldsmith, the Attorney General, announced a review of cases in which Southall had given evidence for the prosecution.
