Jury Trials and Liberty: A festive feast with speaker Dr Graham Barnfield
#DefendJuryTrials
#JusticeAndRights
#BritishDemocracy
At a festive dinner filmed by Worldwrite volunteers, trustee, lecturer and writer Dr Graham Barnfield delivers a powerful and eye-opening talk on one of the cornerstones of British justice: trial by jury.
With clarity, history, and conviction, Dr Barnfield challenges the UK government’s attempts to scale back jury trials, exposing why the so-called “backlog crisis” argument simply doesn’t hold up. Far from being an outdated tradition, jury trials he explains are a vital safeguard of our freedoms and rights as citizens.
This compelling talk reminds us why defending jury trials matters now more than ever—and why losing them would mean far more than just a change in courtroom procedure.
