GB News: Violent criminals may lose automatic right to JURY trial to clear court backlog
Violent criminals may lose automatic right to JURY trial to clear court backlog
Ministers in England and Wales are proposing to remove the automatic right to jury trials for defendants accused of violent crimes and drug dealing to address a backlog of nearly 80,000 cases. An intermediate court system, where cases would be tried by a judge and two magistrates, is under consideration.

This change aims to alleviate the burden on crown courts, as "either way" offences make up 52% of the backlog. While the proposal has garnered support from various legal figures, it raises concerns about significant constitutional implications.
