Whaaaat?

Good hopefully previous SC work on television/streaming of justice can be expanded. The secrecy behind much of judicial decisions (with how difficult it is to get court transcripts) is scandalous. Only maintained by the public not realising how bad it is.

If they can do it without the “americanization” then I feel like it could be educational as to the general workings of court because the average person keeping their nose clean/out of trouble only knows second hand accounts from news articles etc

Let me guess only the biggest threat to the u.k right wing extremeism (not according to mi5)

Sounds like a step towards show trials. Why *start* with possibly the most difficult kind of case to try impartially? Jurors will likely already know of the incident, some evidence may be heard in secret, and there is great public pressure to convict which we know has led to miscarriages of justice in the past (The Birmingham 6, Guiseppe Conlon, and so on…)

Other cases I agree with but kit terror cases. One of the main reasons they dominos to get their message out there. This just gives them a platform
