It has been argued the proposals by David Lammy, the justice secretary - to limit jury trials to a limited number of serious cases, could put judges at risk. The jury system protects judges who are guided by the decision of the jury. If this protection is withdrawn, then judges are exposed to potential danger. Is this a scenario that is likely to happen or just - judicial hot air? I think the question should be addressed and Lammy, should be obliged to answer these questions in greater detail. Moreover the jury system has had a long and illustrious history in this country - dating back to 1220 and has been the bulwark of our legal system - so why change it?
