“UK announces plans to restrict jury trials to help ailing judicial system”

From the article: ”

Britain will remove the historic right to trial by jury for defendants in many less serious criminal cases in an effort to tackle a growing crisis in the court system, justice minister David Lammy said on Tuesday.

Britain’s judicial system is creaking, with tens of thousands of criminal cases stuck in a court backlog and jails so full that prisoners are being released early to ease the strain, with instances of convicts being freed by mistake.

Critics of Lammy’s plans say years of neglect and under-investment by successive governments, not jury trials, are to blame for the state of the criminal justice system, with its crumbling court buildings and too few judges and staff.

The new measures announced by Lammy, who is also deputy prime minister, would bar defendants from opting for jury trial in cases where a jail sentence was likely to be less than three years. Trial by jury would remain for serious offenses, including murder, rape, robbery and arson.

New “Swift Courts” will be created where a judge will sit alone, taking 20% less time than a jury trial, Lammy said, while complex fraud and financial trials will also become judge-only.”

Notice they don’t mention, don’t dare mention, why the court system is backed up and in the poor shape it’s in- Unfettered importation of a criminal class from the third world maybe?

And who will these judges be exactly? My money is on left wing stooges who’s sole purpose is to choke and stifle free speech with no chance of reprieve from a jury challenge. All manner of minor”civil offenses” will no doubt be waged against targets of the state and the newly imported aristocracy.

And what of Sharia? Can we expect at least some of these judges will be Sharia judges? You bet they will, why in a few years it wouldn’t surprise me if they are the majority.

And what will be the law? Why whatever they say is of course, Justice is dead in Great Britain.
