Juryless rape trial pilot in disarray as Edinburgh and Glasgow lawyers back boycott
LAWYERS in Edinburgh and Glasgow have voted to boycott the Scottish Government’s plans for juryless trials in rape cases, warning that the pilot scheme could lead to miscarriages of justice.
I’m so glad the people most in position to know how this will work out, the lawyers, are against this. I hope they keep up that resistance in the face of what will surely be a serious woke-jihad against them.
Huh? Prosecutors don’t bill by the hour, there’s no one to bill. Defense attorneys can but you’d think they’d want more hours, not less.
