In reply to Common Sense. You put way too much faith in the police and the prosecution.

I’d work on the assumption that if someone ends up in front of a jury trial they are almost certainly guilty. Usually at sentencing the list of priors is so long that it’s a disgrace juries don’t know about all the details in advance every time. A good touchstone of any criminal justice reform is if the defence lawyers really moan about it. Criminal justice seems all about making it difficult and expensive to convict the guilty rather than properly taking into account the needs of the ordinary hard working taxpayer. It will be concerning if the new Government listens too much too the do-gooders and wokeists rather than ordinary folks.
