Talking Law: Is the Jury Ever Wrong?

BBC Radio 4
on BBC Radio 4 FM

In the second programme of the series Hugo Young asks: Is the Jury Ever Wrong?

Research recently published from Birmingham University suggests the answer is 'yes, frequently', but many lawyers are reluctant to admit that the question should ever be asked.

Lord Hailsham of St Marylebone, Mr Justice Ackner, Chief Constable John Alderson, Peter Taylor, QC, and Michael Hill, QC, among others, discuss the implications of the research and its results.
