Juries are not perfect.
Many of the worst miscarriages of justice have followed jury trials.
But the merit of juries is not so much the power they have, but the power they prevent others from having.
They mean a judge cannot just nod-along with prosecution evidence and give a guilty verdict.

This is utterly indefensible and shocking that he thought it acceptable to utter this. He should resign with immediate effect.

The UK Labour government is now proposing to scrap trial by jury for all crimes except the most serious cases.
This is a flagrant and gross assault on our collective human rights and dispenses with a principle that has been enshrined in law for 8 centuries.

Enough with this pathetic charade of humiliation. Russia has been given more than enough chances to back out of this, far more than they deserve.

Instead, Starmer & Mahmood are taking a leaf out of the Trumpian manual and instituting a pay-to-play system that works for and rewards only the highest earners, while leaving everyone else in limbo.
