Chair Mary #Prior KC: The Crisis in the Criminal Justice System. @TheCriminalBar

We all appreciate that the 74,000 cases awaiting trial in the backlog of cases

in the Crown Courts of England and Wales should be a matter of national shame.

For the members of the public that access the system – the victims, the accused awaiting

trial, the witnesses who wait to do their civic duty by giving evidence and for the interests

of the general public, suffering the consequences of justice delayed;

there must be a solution.
