Lawyers and lords hail 'overdue' Crown Court first as sentences to be filmed for first time
Legal history will be made on Thursday morning — as a Crown Court sentencing will be filmed for the first time.
Only the judge will be filmed during any sentencing to protect the privacy of victims, witnesses and jurors. Although London will be the site of the first filming, the law allows for any Crown Court to be filmed with the judge’s permission — so could head to Greater Manchester soon.One lawyer who has welcomed the move with cautious optimism is Matthew Condrad, a former trial lawyer for six years with firm Slater and Gordon.
“The public will now be able to see justice handed down, helping them understand better the complex decisions judges make.”
