An Out of Court debate
Nick Ross presents a follow-up to Rules of Justice.
The handling and interrogation of suspects in police custody is governed by a set of principles known as Judges' Rules. They are not laid down by Parliament; they have been frequently criticised; they are open to abuse; and cases like the Confait murder suggest they can lead to miscarriages of justice.
Police, lawyers and campaigners debate the need for radical change. Legal interpretation from Michael Molyneux.
