"And now, while the #criminaljusticesystem is in flames – record, growing #courtbacklogs; record delays; #trials unable to go ahead for a lack of #judges and £barristers; crumbling #courtbuildings; overflowing #prisons; #chronicunderstaffing – the #LordChancellor has backed herself into a pointless, idiotic fight in which she may ultimately be forced to dismantle the one part of the system which was quietly and effectively getting on with its job."

The case is very reminiscent of the case (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sally_Cl):

Convicted of murder on flawed statistical evidence.

These cases make me sick to my stomach.

To then hear that the might take years to complete any review!

We don't just need a review of this case, we need a review of the criminal justice system, and most especially the role and selection of .

There will be other areas where things can be done for good or ill in the short term. It is important that discussion focus on them. However I do not think it is unreasonable for #keirstarmer to try to manage expectations - especially with regard to a sector that he must know well - namely the #criminaljusticesystem where he worked for many years in various roles.
