Beyond Reasonable Doubt was the title of this week's Panorama.
But without even a parliamentary debate, much less legislation, jurors are now instructed to "disregard" the concept of conviction beyond reasonable doubt. Instead, they are instructed merely to ask themselves, "Are you sure?"
No one voted for this. When is there going to be a Panorama on it?
One day, this will be the biggest scandal in living memory.
ReplyDeletePut me in Parliament next time, and it will be within a week.
