Justice?
Not if defendants can't engage fully with the trial
The criminal justice system isn't doing enough to support those who
struggle to communicate fluently or follow the court process
[…]
And we should not forget the many foreign nationals we
prosecute. Brits abroad tend to get a sympathetic press when struggling in
foreign judicial systems but the sympathy is not replicated at home, as translation services
are contracted out and increasingly difficult to
access.
