Congress increases Supreme Court security while lower court judges receive no additional protection despite escalating threats.
PA Justice Secretary David Lammy is proposing to massively restrict the ancient right to a jury trial by only guaranteeing it for defendants facing rape, murder, manslaughter or other cases passing a public interest test. An internal government briefing, produced by the Ministry of Justice (MoJ) for all other Whitehall departments, confirms plans to create a new tier of jury-less courts. The new courts would deal with most crimes currently considered by juries in Crown Court.
