Do jurors have the right to apply their conscience to a case or could it be a criminal offence for them to do so?
A recent hearing before the RCJ puts the centuries-old principle of jury equity on the line.

So why are NHS leaders and the newspapers sounding the alarm?
Well, the NHS never copes well in winter and this year is no exception. Also, I imagine they want to put pressure on doctors not to strike. 8/10

These wonderful people not only have a great shop window but they now have a pile of books signed by me. I did also write the books, if you’re worried – I don’t just go in and sign random books, they frown on that. Anyway, get your books from them.

3 years ago, with no warning, a brilliant orange farm cat wandered over from the draughty barn where he had been living, in rural Cornwall, and decided he wanted to live with us instead.
We decided to call him Jim.
This is the first photo I took of him, on that night: December 1st, 2022.
