The Judge alone is seen, the comments on the camera, as he or she delivers your conviction. No one else involved in the study - the Victims , the witnesses, the jury, the lawyers, or the defendant is sentenced to be filmed.

justice Minister Robert Buckland denies The Move would be a "blind stumbling" into an "unwanted OJ Simpson-style scenario".

He said talk radio was "on information instead of entertainment," and the plans had the full support of the judiciary.

Criminal Bar Association Chairman Caroline Goodwin QC said The Move would "bring more transparency and a better public understanding of the Criminal Justice system".

However, she stressed the importance of the limitation of the filming of judgmental remarks, adding: "Nothing must make compromises in the interest of justice, the primacy of a Fair Trial and safeguarding the interests of vulnerable witnesses, witnesses, and defendants in the rule "

But not everyone has The Move of an unconditional welcome. Bar Council Chairman Amanda Pinto QC said: "If The Public judges" faces in The Living room on the TV and are able to identify them easier, then you are attacked, unfortunately, more personal, and possibly information about you that should not be. "

A century of criminalization
