Podcasts about Double jeopardy

In the wake of the Metropolitan Police's announcement that it's Special Enquiry Team has expanded its criminal investigation into donations made to Reform UK by Fiona Cottrell, the mother of “Posh” George, to include suspected breaches of foreign funding laws based on the Verbatim/C4 undercover sting operation, Ken Macdonald KC and Tim Owen KC focus on the rise and fall of Dr James Orr, the former Reform UK Head of Policy - or “contractor” as he was contemptuously described by Nigel Farage soon after Orr was indefinitely suspended from the Party.  Just how clever is the Associate Professor of Philosophy of Religion in the Cambridge Faculty of Divinity and the man known as “Farage's Brain”?  And is he as weird as High Anglican Tory AN Wilson has claimed? Ken and Tim then discuss the potential for the £72m donations to Reform UK made by Thailand based Christopher Harborne and crypto currency businessman Ben Delo to be reversed when the retrospective provisions of the Representation of the People Bill 2026 come into force.  Can we anticipate the delicious prospect of Reform relying on the European Convention on Human Rights to argue that UK law is incompatible with the right to peaceful enjoyment of property? The duo turn next to debate the defeat of the second attempt to legislate for some form of Assisted Dying legislation in the UK and reflect on the shameful, anti-democratic, filibustering tactics deployed by 7 Peers which meant that the June 2025 House of Commons' vote in favour of the Leadbeater Bill was frustrated. They go on to express astonishment and concern at the apparently never ending Undercover Policing Inquiry which is due to lose its second Inquiry Chair, Sir John Mitting, next year some 12 years after it began. After costing £137m, is it time to pull the plug? And finally Ken and Tim reflect on the new legal risk guidance issued by Attorney General Ellie Reeves KC which reverses the previous guidance issued by Lord Hermer KC (https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/guidance-attorney-generals-guidance-on-legal-risk--2).

Is the Verbatim Investigations/C4 film which shows senior (now ex) Reform UK officials apparently engaged in procuring illegal foreign donations to the Party a “hoax”, as Nigel Farage and Robert Jenrick have claimed, or a brilliant example of investigative journalism in the public interest (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aXut3s90rUI)? And did the undercover operation breach journalistic ethics by crossing the line into “entrapment”, or did the evidence captured on film simply reveal the willingness of Reform's former Head of Policy, James Orr, and senior aide to Farage, Dan Jukes, to operate an “off the books” illegal donation scheme? What specific criminal offences under UK law are apparent from the broadcast footage and what defences might be run in he event of criminal charges? And is major Reform UK donor Aaron Banks right to say that the public “don't give a rat's arse” about the behaviour of Orr, Jukes and Farage as revealed by Verbatim's investigation? To debate the fascinating issues generated by the C4/Verbatim sting operation on Double Jeopardy, Tim Owen KC is joined by electoral and media law expert Gavin Millar KC who acted as legal advisor to Verbatim during the year-long undercover operation. In his first public interview since the documentary was published, Gavin explains the ethical principles which guide this kind of investigation, the criminal offences set out in the Political Parties, Elections and Referendums Act 2000 and the difference between the role of a journalist as opposed to that of the police when investigating potential wrongdoing by politicians. The duo discuss the weaknesses in current electoral law and the limited powers of the Electoral Commission to tackle dodgy financial dealings by political parties. -- Covering the critical intersections of politics and law in the UK with expert commentary on high-profile legal cases, political controversies, prisons and sentencing, human rights law, current political events and the shifting landscape of justice and democracy.

The failure of successive Conservative governments to build sufficient prison capacity to accommodate the growing prison population handed Labour a criminal justice crisis which demanded urgent action. In enacting the Sentencing Act in January 2026, Parliament approved the "earned progression" model recommended by the Gauke Sentencing Review which held out some hope of long term relief from the perma-crisis afflicting our penal system. But in the face of sustained media pressure concerning the release of the killers of PC Harper, Andy Burnham's first major policy decision as PM has been to water down the release scheme in a way guaranteed to sustain the very crisis which the 2026 Act was crafted to resolve (https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/sentencing-act-offence-exclusions). For expert legal commentary on the depressing statement delivered to Parliament on 1st September by Labour's third Lord Chancellor in 2 years and its implications for UK law and current political events, Ken Macdonald KC and Tim Owen KC are joined on Double Jeopardy by the Institute for Government's Associate Director, Cassia Rowland. Why did former Justice Secretary, David Lammy, not prepare the public for the coming into force of the Sentencing Act's release provisions with the result that the summer media frenzy over the release of PC Harper's killers caused Burnham to abandon key features of the early release scheme? What hope is there for achieving a long term reduction in our use of imprisonment if politicians simply collapse in the face of media stories linked to high-profile legal cases? Ken and Tim also discuss the $17 billion settlement agreed on 26th August between Meta and US States in the federal child safety lawsuit alleging that Meta designed its apps (Facebook and Instagram) to be addictive to children and knew about the risks those platforms posed but hid that information from the public. Finally they discuss the alarming implications of the US government's decision to designate Palestine Action as a Specially Designated Global Terrorist organisation in terms of its impact on freedom of expression and on any persons convicted in the future of a Terrorism Act offence related to supporting PA. --   Covering the critical intersections of politics and law in the UK with expert commentary on high-profile legal cases, political controversies, prisons and sentencing, human rights law, current political events and the shifting landscape of justice and democracy.

God speaks to his people in Leviticus chapter 20 and verse 8 and identifies that it is HE who makes His people holy. Today's message is a reminder of how God perfects His people. If it is true that God is HE who makes us Holy, what is our role scripturally, and more specifically what is God's role. We also address what to do when our past practices and deeds guilt us and bring condemnation upon us.

With co-hosts Ken Macdonald KC and Tim Owen KC travelling in widely separated time zones, it's proved impossible to record the weekly episode as normal. But rather than skip an episode altogether we thought that with Parliament due to return next week and with the new Lord Chancellor Alex Norris due to announce major changes to the early release provisions of the Sentencing Act 2026 as a result of public fury at the prospect of the killers of PC Harper benefiting from the scheme, our audience would appreciate a chance to listen (or re-listen) to the 4th June 2025 episode when our guest was David Gauke, the former Conservative Justice Secretary 2018/19. It was the report produced in May 2025 by Gauke's Independent Review of Sentencing which formed the basis for the (now much reviled) early release provisions of the Sentencing Act - provisions which mark a fundamental change in sentencing policy and which were enacted by Parliament in order to address the deep crisis of prison capacity resulting from the deadly combination of a total failure by consecutive Conservative governments to build sufficient new prison places over the fifteen years they were in power and an ever expanding prison population. In our discussion with David, he explained how his recommendations for what were, in reality, very limited changes to our overly complex, messy and confusing sentencing systems were intended to reduce our use of short custodial sentences, ease the pressure on our overcrowded, collapsing prison system while boosting investment in community penalties and a reinvigorated probation service. With the prospect now of Andy Burnham flinching at the first sign of populist revulsion at the idea of prisoners convicted of violence being granted early release after serving only a third or half of their sentences, our discussion with David Gauke provides helpful context for the next round of political debate around the apparently never ending crisis that afflicts our penal system. It is a salutary reminder of the political challenges that face any government seeking to wean a nation away from a relentless belief that locking people up for years in conditions which make rehabilitation impossible is a sensible use of public money. -- Covering the critical intersections of politics and law in the UK with expert commentary on high-profile legal cases, political controversies, prisons and sentencing, human rights law, current political events and the shifting landscape of justice and democracy.

Also, Yale Law School grads have a side chat to discuss their infamous classmates. ----- Luigi Mangione's lawyers say their client can't be tried for murder now that he's pleaded guilty to federal stalking charges. At issue is a voluntary admission that his stalking led to the death of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, which is not an element of stalking but can be a sentencing enhancement. And his team hope this is enough to trigger New York's broad double jeopardy restrictions. Why is the Department of Justice going along with this? Meanwhile, Biglaw giants are taking meetings about taking private equity money, opening the door to investors buying stakes in law firms. The proposal revolves around the "management services organization," the same structure that put private equity in charge of your dentist. And J.D. and Usha Vance's Yale Law classmates maintain a private Signal group to compare notes on a couple they sat next to in Contracts.

Andy Burnham's decision to pause the emergency early release scheme in order to ensure that the killers of PC Andrew Harper do not benefit from it, is an act of political desperation given the data showing that the UK prison system is at bursting point and can't cope with the rising prison population without a significant, rapid reduction in those currently imprisoned (https://www.instituteforgovernment.org.uk/explainer/prison-early-release-scheme). It also demonstrates a grave lack of political judgment by former Justice Secretary David Lammy in failing to anticipate the inevitable public outcry that the scheme would trigger given the range of offenders whose automatic release dates would be significantly advanced at a time when the necessary public protection measures were woefully inadequate. To understand the implications for UK law and politics and the rule of law of this latest illustration of the disastrous state of our criminal justice and prison system, Ken Macdonald KC and Tim Owen KC debate the exquisite dilemma which confronts Burnham and his new, inexperienced Lord Chancellor Alex Norris, and pose some basic questions to those urging the abandonment of the early release scheme save in relation to those serving sentences for minor crimes. Given the disastrous record of successive Conservative governments in starving the UK criminal justice system of resources, doing nothing to reduce sentence lengths while failing to build more prison capacity, what was the Labour government expected to do as the prison system became overwhelmed? And what are the prospects of any government communicating a consistent, effective message on the need to reduce our use of imprisonment when Justice Secretaries and Prisons and Probation Ministers rarely last more than a year in office? Ken and Tim then turn to answer some listeners' questions on a range of issues including Andy Burnham's call for a codified written UK constitution; whether sentencing guidelines should be amended to reflect the time that will actually be served in custody; and the implications for UK law and politics of France becoming the latest European country to legalise assisted dying. -- Covering the critical intersections of politics and law in the UK with expert commentary on high-profile legal cases, political controversies, prisons and sentencing, human rights law, current political events and the shifting landscape of justice and democracy.

Luigi Mangione's New York state trial has been postponed as his defense launches a potentially case-ending double-jeopardy challenge following his federal guilty plea. Judge Gregory Carro canceled the September 8 trial date and gave Manhattan prosecutors until October 9 to respond. The court will take up the issue on December 10, just days before Mangione's December 18 federal sentencing. Mangione pleaded guilty to two federal stalking charges and admitted that he followed UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson to New York and shot him. Federal prosecutors say they will seek life imprisonment, although the federal sentencing guidelines currently calculate a range of roughly 24 to 30 years. The major question now is whether New York can continue with its own murder and weapons prosecution. Mangione's attorneys argue that New York's unusually broad statutory double-jeopardy protections prohibit another prosecution arising from the same criminal transaction. Manhattan prosecutors argue the state offenses involve different legal elements and interests, and the statute itself contains exceptions that could permit the case to continue. Meanwhile, the defense case in the Lindsay Clancy trial is underway. Susan Clancy testified that Lindsay's mental health deteriorated dramatically in the months before the deaths of her three children and told jurors that Lindsay was "begging for help." Defense psychiatrist Dr. Donald Condie also criticized portions of her treatment records as sparse and testified about symptoms reflected in those records. The defense argues that severe postpartum mental illness left Lindsay Clancy not criminally responsible. Prosecutors maintain that she understood what she was doing and deliberately planned the killings. The jury will ultimately determine whether she was criminally responsible. Join criminal defense attorney Scott Reisch for analysis of the latest courtroom developments, the legal arguments and what happens next. What do you think? Should New York's broader double-jeopardy law prevent the state from prosecuting Mangione after his federal guilty plea? And does the testimony that Lindsay Clancy was "begging for help" strengthen her defense?

AP correspondent Julie Walker reports Luigi Mangione's state murder trial is postponed indefinitely amid a double jeopardy fight.

Some of America’s most notorious criminal cases are taking dramatic new turns. Tudor Dixon is joined by criminal defense attorney David Gelman to break down the latest legal developments involving Luigi Mangione, Bryan Kohberger, Alex Murdaugh, and Lindsay Clancy. They examine the intense public fascination surrounding Mangione, his potential legal strategy and sentencing, and what Gelman describes as the “Netflix effect” that can turn accused and convicted killers into cultural figures. They also discuss Kohberger’s effort to withdraw his guilty plea and why Gelman believes his chances of succeeding are extraordinarily slim. Then, Tudor and David examine why Alex Murdaugh is getting another trial, including allegations of improper conduct involving the court clerk and the jury. Finally, they tackle the disturbing Lindsay Clancy case and the complicated questions surrounding postpartum mental health, medication, criminal intent, reasonable doubt, and whether doctors and pharmaceutical companies should face greater scrutiny when medications are alleged to contribute to violent behavior. It’s a wide-ranging look inside the criminal justice system—and the legal battles behind some of the cases captivating America.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Law Commission for England and Wales is currently consulting on reform of the antiquated common law of homicide (murder and manslaughter) with a view to addressing long-standing criticisms that the current legal system is outdated, overly complex and fails accurately and fairly to distinguish between varying degrees of culpability (https://lawcom.gov.uk/project/law-of-homicide/). On Double Jeopardy, Ken Macdonald KC and Tim Owen KC provide expert legal commentary on the implications for UK law and politics of fundamental change to homicide law and sentencing in discussion with the Law Commissioner for Criminal Law, Professor Penney Lewis. How many people realise that a person can be convicted of the substantive offence of murder on the basis of an intent merely to cause serious injury whereas the offence of attempted murder requires proof of a specific intention to kill? Will the Law Commission's proposal to replace the current two-tier system with a structured three-tier hierarchy of general homicide offences (first degree murder, second degree murder and manslaughter) make it easier for the public to understand why the mandatory life sentence is reserved for the most serious homicide offences? Should a jury continue to define for itself what degree of carelessness amounts to the serious crime of gross negligence manslaughter? And should the understandable grief and rage of the relatives of victims of homicide influence the difficult charging decisions that the Crown Prosecution Service must make in those cases where mental illness obviously explains the homicidal motive? Ken and Tim are then joined by former Court of Appeal Judge and President of the Kalisher Trust, Dame Anne Rafferty, to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the Kalisher Trust which has, for the last three decades promoted social mobility, diversity and excellence at the Criminal Bar (https://www.thekalishertrust.org/).   --   Covering the critical intersections of politics and law in the UK with expert commentary on high-profile legal cases, political controversies, prisons and sentencing, human rights law, current political events and the shifting landscape of justice and democracy. With in-depth discussions and influential guests, Double Jeopardy is the podcast that uncovers the forces shaping Britain's legal and political future.    ​ What happens when politics and law collide?

Hollywood star and best-selling author, Ashley Judd, joins Dearbhail to discuss her career, her activism and her prominent role in the #MeToo movement. The star of ‘Heat' and ‘Double Jeopardy', and UNFPA Goodwill ambassador, talks about breaking the silence on Harvey Weinstein, for which TIME magazine named her one of their People of the Year.

The Burnham purge of the Cabinet has resulted in radical personnel changes in the Ministry of Justice and among the Law Officers, with the departures of David Lammy, Lord Hermer KC, Baroness Levitt KC and Lord Timpson. Their replacements are all less experienced legally and politically, less well known and consequently lacking in political weight. To discuss the implications of these developments for UK law and politics, the rule of law, sentencing and prisons policy, Double Jeopardy hosts Ken Macdonald KC and Tim Owen KC are joined by regular guest Danny Shaw, a former BBC journalist and expert on criminal justice, policing, security and immigration. Who is the new Lord Chancellor, Nottingham MP Alex Norris, and what message does his appointment send to lawyers, the judiciary and the public, when a person with no previous Cabinet experience or legal qualification was the last Cabinet appointment to be announced by Andy Burnham? Was he appointed because more senior people with Cabinet experience turned down the chance to be Lord Chancellor? If so, what does that say about the long-term demise of a once great Office of State, when the Lord Chancellor is the least experienced member of the Cabinet? What does the unexpected resignation of Lord Timpson say about the prospects for penal reform in the UK? He is replaced by the 15th Prisons Minister since 2010, Catherine McKinnell MP, someone with no relevant knowledge or experience in this uniquely difficult area of prisons and sentencing policy.   The trio also discuss Andy Burnham's decision, three days after taking office, to pause the statutory early release scheme due to come into force on 2 September. The decision followed a media onslaught focusing on the grief and rage of PC Harper's widow at the prospect of her husband's killers being released halfway through their determinate sentences instead of at the two-thirds point. Is this an example of Burnham's wish to be popular rather than make tough decisions?   --   Covering the critical intersections of politics and law in the UK with expert commentary on high-profile legal cases, political controversies, prisons and sentencing, human rights law, current political events and the shifting landscape of justice and democracy.

In this episode of Double Jeopardy, the 12th June decision of the Trump administration to issue an export control directive forcing AI giant Anthropic to suspend access to its new AI tool Fable 5 "by any foreign national including one in the USA" on the basis of national security concerns triggered a huge current affairs debate in the EU about AI sovereignty, with former French PM Attal likening the shutdown to Iran's blockade of the Strait of Hormuz. To offer expert legal commentary on the implications of Trump's approach to AI and cyber-security for UK law and UK politics as well as the broader EU landscape, Ken Macdonald KC and Tim Owen KC are once again joined by their Matrix chambers colleague, AI expert and media/data law barrister Zoe McCallum. The trio also discuss the breakneck speed of developments in AI in terms of its impact on the legal system and the delivery of justice in the UK. They examine the significant recent contributions to this debate by Supreme Court Justice Lord Briggs (https://supremecourt.uk/speeches/speech-lord-briggs-200526) and Dame Victoria Sharp, whose speech addresses judicial independence past, present, and future (https://www.judiciary.uk/speech-by-the-president-of-the-kings-bench-division-without-fear-or-favour-judicial-independence-past-present-and-future/).   Ken and Tim then shift to discuss the extraordinary Judgment handed down by the Court of Appeal on 17th July, presided over by Lady Chief Justice Carr, which contains an unprecedented criticism of the (now former) Attorney General Lord Hermer KC in relation to his public comments following his decision to refer the sentences of the 3 children convicted of rape in Fordingbridge under the Unduly Lenient Scheme (https://www.judiciary.uk/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/Approved-Follow-On-Judgment-R-v-X-Y-Z-2026-EWCA-Crim-913.pdf).

Reaction to the damning judgment handed down by Mr Justice Nicklin on 7th July (https://www.judiciary.uk/judgments/lawrence-and-others-v associated-newspapers-limited/) dismissing the privacy and unlawful information gathering claims brought by Prince Harry and six other well known individuals against the Daily Mail publishers has been sharply divided. In an extraordinary, potentially reckless statement, given that Nicklin is due to decide the issues of costs later this month, Prince Harry condemned it as "a complete and obvious whitewash", questioning the objectivity and fairness of the Judge while Associated Newspapers welcomed the judgment as "a magnificent vindication" of the freedom of the press and its journalists. For expert legal commentary on why the claimants lost, Ken Macdonald KC and Tim Owen KC are joined once again by the leading media barrister Gavin Millar KC, who regularly acts for the media in high profile legal cases. Why did the Judge reject each and every claim despite the Daily Mail admitting it had regularly recruited third party investigators with previous form for phone hacking, "blagging" and other unlawful conduct to assist its journalists in their stories? How could the claimants' legal team have got things so badly wrong? Is the Judge's approach to "propensity" evidence and the strict demand for article-by-article proof, appealable? Ken and Tim then answer some listeners' questions about last week's episode with Dame Vera Baird KC and the current state of the CCRC, a recurring theme in our legal commentary on the criminal justice crisis, before ending with a tribute to the great former Lord Chancellor, Lord Mackay of Clashfern who died on 7th July 2026 at the age of 99. --   Covering the critical intersections of politics and law in the UK with expert commentary on high-profile legal cases, political controversies, prisons and sentencing, human rights law, current political events and the shifting landscape of justice and democracy.

The Criminal Cases Review Commission (CCRC) is a vital cog in the UK legal system but both before and after the catalogue of failures in handling of the Andrew Malkinson case were laid out in great detail in Chris Henley KC's 2024 Report (https://cdn.websitebuilder.service.justice.gov.uk/uploads/sites/5/2024/10 henleyreport.pdf) it was widely regarded as an institution in permanent crisis, badly managed and apparently incapable of fulfilling the goals which lead to its creation via the Criminal Appeal Act 1995 in the wake of a series o high profile legal cases and miscarriages of justice. In this week's episode Ken Macdonald KC and Tim Owen KC are joined by the Chair of the CCRC, Dame Vera Baird KC, for expert legal commentary and  ask why she took on the job in 2025 following the resignation of the much criticised former Chair, Helen Pitcher, and whether she is optimistic that she can turn the organisation around despite the numerous structural flaws identified in the recently published Report by His Majesty's Crown Prosecution Service Inspectorate (https://hmcpsi.justiceinspectorates.gov.uk/report/criminal-cases-review commission-casework/). Does the baleful legacy of remote working contracts – which means that almost all the CCRC's staff work from home rather than in its Birmingham office – represent a fundamental obstacle to reforming the dysfunctional work environment exposed by the HMCPSI Report? Does the CCRC have enough people with criminal law experience working on its caseload? And are the CCRC Commissioners – intended at the outset to provide real expertise and detailed oversight of casework – too detached and insufficiently involved in day-to-day work to maintain effective scrutiny of case workers? Does the “real possibility” statutory test - which requires the CCRC to predict whether it thinks the Court of Appeal will overturn a conviction – force the CCRC to be overly deferential to the judiciary, raising real questions about correcting miscarriages of justice and effectively turning it into a gatekeeper rather than a bold investigative advocate for justice? Can Dame Vera be confident that there will never be another disaster such as the Malkinson case under a reformed CCRC? --   Covering the critical intersections of politics and law in the UK with expert commentary on high-profile legal cases, political controversies, prisons and sentencing, human rights law, current political events and the shifting landscape of justice and democracy.

With the tenth anniversary of the Brexit referendum upon us, Ken Macdonald KC and Tim Owen KC begin the episode with a reminder of actor Danny Dyer's memorable thoughts on “this whole Brexit thing” and his unflattering assessment of David Cameron's role in enabling our departure from the EU, before they reflect on what the impact of Brexit has been on the UK legal system. Ken and Tim then discuss how the interregnum between Keir Starmer's resignation and the imminent arrival of Andy Burnham as Prime Minister has brought uncertainty in relation to who Burnham will appoint as the new Justice Secretary and Attorney General on the basis that neither David Lammy nor Richard Hermer seem likely to remain in their current jobs. What, if any, impact will a Burnham premiership have on the future of Labour's jury trial reforms in the Courts and Tribunals Bill given Burnham's publicly expressed concern that the government “should proceed with huge caution and do not take away something that's a lynchpin of a fair society.”   The duo comment on the arguments advanced by Palestine Action in support of their unsuccessful application to the Court of Appeal for permission to appeal to the Supreme Court against the decision to uphold the Home Secretary's proscription decision and anticipate the likely response from the Supreme Court itself.   Finally, they discuss the merits of the Law Commission's consultation paper on reforming the law of homicide (https://lawcom.gov.uk/news/law-commission-proposes-major-overhaul-of-homicide-offences/) and look forward to next week's episode where their guest will be the Interim Chair of the Criminal Cases Review Commission, Dame Vera Baird KC.

Last week two parallel Private Bills were introduced in the House of Commons and House of Lords by Baroness Stowell of Beeston and Sir John Whittingdale MP (https://bills.parliament.uk/bills/4163) with the aim of expanding the existing law to tackle so-called SLAPP litigation – Strategic Lawsuits Against Public Participation – defined by the Solicitors Regulation Authority as “a misuse of the legal system through bringing claims or threatening claims that are unmeritorious or characterised by abusive tactics in order to stifle lawful scrutiny and publication”. To debate the justification for extending the existing law as set out in sections 194 and 195 of the Economic Crime and Corporate Transparency Act 2023 (currently limited solely to freedom of expression in relation to economic crime issues) Ken Macdonald KC and Tim Owen KC are joined by two media law Titans – Hugh Tomlinson KC and Gavin Millar KC – who have dramatically different views on the need for and practicality of anti-SLAPP laws. Is it right, as the UK Anti-SLAPP Coalition argue, that the UK legal system tops the bill in terms of SLAPP suits (https://antislapp.uk/what-is-a-slapp/cases-in-focus/)? Is the Stowell/Whittingdale Bill far too broad so as to enable fruitcakes, crackpots and loonies to seek the remedy of summary dismissal on the basis that what they are alleging, however absurd, is in the public interest?  Are the costs protections in favour of media defendants far too generous and bound to interfere with a claimant's right of access to the Courts? Is it appropriate for such a fundamental legislative measure to be enacted as a Private Member's Bill, or is this classically a job for the Law Commission to consider and propose a carefully thought through legislative amendment to existing law? Finally, Ken and Tim reflect on the resignation of Keir Starmer and consider whether Andy Burnham is likely to ditch the deeply unpopular proposals for jury reform in the Courts and Tribunals Bill, possibly with a new Justice Secretary replacing David Lammy.   --   Covering the critical intersections of politics and law in the UK with expert commentary on high-profile legal cases, political controversies, prisons and sentencing, human rights law, current political events and the shifting landscape of justice and democracy.

The last three episodes of Double Jeopardy covering the media ban on convicted murderer Jeremy Bamber, the Fordingbridge rape sentences and the murder of Henry Nowak have generated big audiences and plenty of comments and questions from listeners. And so in this week's episode Ken Macdonald KC and Tim Owen KC respond to a range of listeners' questions including – why bother to debate the rights and wrongs of the decision by the prison authorities to ban Bamber from all contact with the media given the numerous unsuccessful attempts he has made to overturn his convictions? Is it really necessary for a journalist to be able to have a face to face meeting with a prisoner when researching his/her claim to be a victim of a miscarriage of justice? Should politicians stay out of sentencing decisions altogether or was it acceptable for Keir Starmer to express his personal view on the sentences meted out to the child rapists in the Fordingbridge case? Should a child convicted of an “adult crime” such as rape be treated as an adult in sentencing terms as the mother of one of the girl victims has publicly urged? (Since recording the episode we learned that the hearing of the Attorney General's reference of the rape sentences to the Court of Appeal has been adjourned to 1-2 July.) Ken and Tim also discuss the Report of the Justice Select Committee (which is highly critical of the Courts and Tribunals Bill on the basis its proposed reforms are being advanced without sufficient evidence, planning or formal response to Sir Brian Leveson's Independent Review of the Criminal Courts) (Parliamentcommittees.parliament.uk/publications/53510/documents/298926/default). They anticipate the revival of the Assisted Dying Bill now that the MP who came second in the Private Members' Bill ballot, Lauren Edwards, has announced she will promote it in the next Parliamentary session. And finally, the duo reflect on the judgment of the Court of Appeal upholding the Home Secretary's decision to proscribe Palestine Action (JudiciaryHome Secretary -v- Huda Ammori - Courts and Tribunals Judiciary)   --   Covering the critical intersections of politics and law in the UK with expert commentary on high-profile legal cases, political controversies, prisons and sentencing, human rights law, current political events and the shifting landscape of justice and democracy.

The non-custodial Youth Rehabilitation Orders handed down by Judge Nicholas Rowland at Southampton Crown Court on 21st May 2026 on 3 teenage boys (aged 14 and 13 at the date of their crimes) for the gang rape of two lone girls aged 14 and 15 in Fordingbridge, Hampshire in 2024 and 2025 has triggered a major public outcry, generating public intervention by the Prime Minister and a decision by Attorney General Lord Hermer KC to refer the sentences to the Court of Appeal under the Unduly Lenient Scheme set out in s.36 Criminal Justice Act 1988 (Attorney general had 'no doubt' on reviewing teen boys' rape sentences).  The hearing is listed on 16th June.   To discuss the very difficult sentencing issues generated by the case and the tension it reveals between diversion from the criminal justice system and rehabilitation of child/young offenders on the one hand and the needs of punishment, deterrence and public safety on the other, Ken Macdonald KC and Tim Owen KC are joined once again by Sarah Vine KC, a barrister with extensive experience of defending adults and children charged with rape and other serious sexual offences.     Bearing in mind the appalling conditions in and disastrous outcomes from detention in Young Offender Institutes such as Feltham (as revealed in the 2025 HM Inspectorate Report) as well as the clear priority set out in the Sentencing Council's guidance on Sentencing Children and Young People that the focus on sentencing a child should be on rehabilitation “where possible” (https://sentencingcouncil.org.uk/guidelines/sentencing-children-and-young-people/) is it possible to argue that Judge Rowland's sentences are radically out of line with sentencing principles to the extent that they represent a “gross error” on the basis they “fall outside the range of sentences which the judge, applying his mind to all relevant factors, could reasonably consider appropriate” (Attorney General's Reference No 4 of 1989 [1990] 1 WLR 41) ?  And do the interventions by Keir Starmer and Richard Hermer show that, despite their human rights backgrounds, they respond as typical politicians in the face of a populist demand to send more people, including children, to prison and for longer. -- Covering the critical intersections of politics and law in the UK with expert commentary on high-profile legal cases, political controversies, prisons and sentencing, human rights law, current political events and the shifting landscape of justice and democracy.

DescriptionPicture a marketing world flipped upside down: Where heavy buyers aren't your golden goose, where loyalty programs might be missing the point, and where the brands you think are exceptional actually follow surprisingly predictable patterns. Dr. Nicole Hartnett, senior marketing scientist at the world-renowned Ehrenberg-Bass Institute, joins Marc and V to demolish some of marketing's most sacred assumptions with cold, hard data.The Ehrenberg-Bass Institute is the world's largest centre for research into marketing and Dr. Nicole Hartnett has won the Market Research Society (MRS) Award for the best paper published by the International Journal of Market Research in 2022. Her groundbreaking research "When Brands Go Dark" analyzed 365 US brands from 22 consumer goods categories that stopped advertising for at least one year, revealing that brands experienced average sales declines of 16% after the first year, 25% after two years, and 36% after three years.In this episode, you'll hear Nicole explain why most customer bases are dominated by light buyers who contribute roughly 40-50% of sales, how the Double Jeopardy law proves that big brands don't just have more customers but also slightly more loyal ones, and why mental and physical availability matter more than differentiation. She breaks down the difference between repertoire and subscription markets, reveals why advertising effects are "spread out really thinly over time" like "hitting them with a feather," and shares the surprising patterns that hold true across everything from coffee purchases to B2B software.This isn't theoretical—it's the kind of evidence-based marketing science that's transformed how the world's biggest brands actually grow, backed by decades of empirical research that challenges everything you thought you knew about customer loyalty and brand building.Timestamps00:00: Welcome and introducing Dr. Nicole Hartnett from Ehrenberg-Bass Institute03:04: Defining repertoire vs subscription markets and loyalty patterns08:40: The Double Jeopardy law explained - why smaller brands suffer twice16:16: Light vs heavy buyers - who really drives brand growth?26:50: Mental and physical availability as growth drivers29:30: Reach vs frequency - the advertising convex response function36:45: "When Brands Go Dark" research findings on advertising cessation46:00: What makes great advertising - Old Spice campaign breakdown54:12: Distinctive assets and brand identity management systemsReferencesPrimary SourceHartnett, N., Gelzinis, A., Beal, V., Kennedy, R., & Sharp, B.

After a hard-fought trial, sometimes the jury simply can't agree. Speaker A shared a personal story about his very first trial resulting in a deadlocked jury (01:12).Here's what happens step-by-step:The Wait: Both sides anxiously await, sometimes for days, as the jury deliberates (02:40).The Howard/Allen Charge: If the jury is stuck, Ohio courts use the “Howard charge” (federally known as the “Allen charge” or “dynamite charge”), urging jurors to reconsider their positions (03:21).No Verdict? Mistrial: If the jury still can't agree, the judge can declare a mistrial (04:57).What's Next? The prosecutor decides whether to try the case again, often after speaking with jurors to understand the split (05:49).Do-Overs: The Realities of Retrying a CaseSometimes, a case is retried immediately; other times, practicalities and strategy call for a pause (05:41).Speaker A noted how retrying a case can be even harder for the defense: "Have you ever had a term paper deleted by accident? Rewriting it is nauseatingly painful" (07:49).FAQ CornerWhat about Double Jeopardy? A hung jury doesn't trigger double jeopardy—a retrial is possible without violating a defendant's rights (07:12).Does the Speedy Trial Clock Reset? The clock can toll, but other legal considerations come into play (07:26).Hung juries may sound rare, but they're a real and challenging part of the legal process.Submit your questions to www.lawyertalkpodcast.com.Recorded at Channel 511.Stephen E.

It's Die Hard in a dystopia! For our penultimate episode, this week we're hopping on our lawmasters and cruising into Mega City One, as we discuss the 2012 version of DREDD aka DREDD 3-D!In the futuristic crime-ridden dystopia of Mega City One, roving patrols of ‘Judges' are permitted to dispense on-the-spot justice with the power of judge, jury and executioner. In this context, the hard-bitten, highly experienced Judge Dredd (Karl Urban) is reluctantly partnered with rookie candidate Judge Anderson (Olivia Thirlby), who has psychic abilities due to a genetic mutation. In the process of investigating a triple homicide in the towering high-rise building known as Peach Trees, the two Judges incur the wrath of the culprit – ferocious and powerful local gangster MaMa (Lena Headey) – who seals off the building and declares war on the pair of them, meaning that the two vastly outnumbered Judges must use all their skills and guile to survive an onslaught of attacks from the building's seemingly infinite number of marauding criminals. The boys put this awesome movie in its full context by discussing the entire history of the Dredd character and it's life across popular culture (including the 1995 Stallone movie version). They go deep on this icon figure's complex appeal, and what this adaptation got so right, and what the distributors got so wrong (remember the 3-D craze?! Ah…good times) in translating this challenging source material to the silver screen at the second attempt. The guys hand out awards in a hotly contested edition of the ‘Die Hard Oscars' and wrap things up with a challenging edition of the ‘Double Jeopardy' Trivia Quiz. But will Liam pass or fail?!

It's Die Hard on a runaway train! With the last stop now in sight, it's full steam ahead on the show this week as the boys attempt “to run this bitch down” (in the nicest possible way of course) by discussing Tony Scott's swaggering swansong UNSTOPPABLE (2010) in the context of disaster movies, Die Hard, and the action genre in general! When a massive freight train designated 777 accidentally escapes a Pennsylvania railyard under its own power, the authorities scramble to find a solution as the driverless locomotive increases its speed. This highly dangerous situation is yet further complicated when they become aware of 777's volatile chemical cargo, that effectively turns the runaway train into “a missile the size of the Chrysler building”…a missile that's now heading into inexorably into a heavily populated area. Fate and circumstances mean that two unlikely heroes – veteran train driver Frank Barnes (Denzel Washington) and rookie conductor Will Colson (Chris Pine) – find themselves on a collision course with the errant vehicle – and with the help of canny yardmaster Connie Hooper (Rosario Dawson), they hatch an audacious plan to try and stop this metallic monster from causing mass destruction in the area they all call home. In this thoughtful and emotive conversation, Phil and Liam discuss the film's importance both as the last film of an iconic artist, and as arguably the last pure action movie ever made…before the entire genre changed forever. They muse on its standing as one of the greatest working class pictures of all time, discuss the potential for it being the best disaster movie ever committed to celluloid, and elaborate further on the idea of the “competency porn” that's writ large throughout Tony Scott's filmography. As always there's detailed analysis of UNSTOPPABLE's bountiful “Die Hard DNA”, before the lads trade their yellow vests for tuxedos to hand out the “Die Hard Oscars”, and finally the guys bring this beast to a halt with the ever-popular “Double Jeopardy” trivia quiz!

It's DIE HARD on the New York subway! This week we welcome back special guest Jason Bailey (who completes his hat trick of appearances) to discuss THE TAKING OF PELHAM123 (2009)!When a ruthless thief who calls himself Ryder (John Travolta) takes over a New York city subway train and demands a $10 million ransom for the hostages, disgraced MTA official Walter Garber (Denzel Washington) finds himself in the middle of the crisis. Garber must now somehow attempt to negotiate his way through this high stakes situation, which soon becomes even more perilous and political when a suspicious NYPD hostage negotiator (John Turturro) and the slippery Mayor of New York (James Gandolfini) both get personally involved. As the body count rises and tensions increase, Garber finds himself drawn into a strange, almost symbiotic relationship with the unhinged hijacker…and ultimately has to go into the lion's den to confront him personally. While the bulk of this episode is focused on the 2009 Tony Scott remake, inevitably the guys talk extensively about the 1974 original (and even the 1998 TV movie version). Things are starting to come full circle now, as a seventies film that influenced the original 1988 Die Hard is then remade for a post 9/11 landscape…with new Die Hard DNA inevitably added to the mix. The chaps talk about the story's themes (particularly the astute and incisive examination of big city politics), the inherent challenges of remakes, and the excellent, layered acting performances. As always the guys hand out ‘Die Hard Oscars' and wrap things up with a challenging edition of the ‘Double Jeopardy' trivia quiz.
