The criminal justice system in England & Wales is gridlocked.
The rate of completions is countered by new receipts. The system has maxed out on its throughput & bandwidth.
Rape cases take 4/5 years.
The risk of miscarriages of justice both ways is huge. What’s the solution, how about mandatory fines for non violent fines in a taper system ?
Maybe not let the Daily Express decide the UK's criminal justice strategy?Quote:

In both cases it did strike me that the the processes were very very admin heavy. Naturally so as justice can't be rushed, but I had a sense that some of the processes could be made a little more efficient.
I know it's your rod and your back but what's your solution?Quote:

If I said the answer to the asylum seeker problem, which let's face it is more novel than the inefficiencies of the criminal justice system, was that we should commission an investigation into means in which efficiencies could be made into the asylum system so as to speed it up you would no doubt have your views on whether the CCMB's analysis was on the money or not!Quote:

Perhaps the Government could bring this in. It would have two benefits
Cut the court case backlog (see what I did there!) by doing what the French did, suspend legal assistance and public trials ( and who need a jury anyway!!)
On reflection I should have made this a reply to LOM's Trial by television post!
Help the exchequer by doing what the Nazis did and invoice the families of the executed for the cost!
Shall I write to Priti, Douglas and Rishi?
(Perhaps this should have been a reply to LOM's Trial by television post!)
Best not alert them to how it endedQuote:
