Description

How does the criminal justice system really work? From the police station, to trial, sentence and all the way to appeals, criminal barrister Chris Kessling takes you through the world of the criminal courts in England & Wales. Using real case examples, this podcast will enable you to navigate the criminal courts yourself and fully understand how they operate in practice. If you are accused of a crime, are a victim of crime, or are going to court as a witness - if you want to know the details of what to expect at trial, sentencing or the appeals process - this weekly podcast will bring the whole court system to life. Backed up by the hugely popular Defence-Barrister.co.uk website, the criminal justice system will never have been made so clear.
