On the Continent, depending on the jurisdiction, they have things like wider rights of appeal, and the automatic right to a retrial. In Scotland, they have things like the requirement of corroboration of evidence, and until recently the not proven verdict.
Here in England and Wales, we have things like the right to trial by jury, and the automatic right of appeal from the Magistrates' Court to the Crown Court. And David Lammy proposes to keep juries for rape, so why do he and his supporters keep bringing it up? Is there something that they are not telling us?
