Jury trials may be reserved for the most serious crimes
The Independent
|November 26, 2025
The government is considering scrapping jury trials except in the most serious cases, according to reports.
The justice secretary, David Lammy, has reportedly proposed a significant overhaul of the UK’s court system, suggesting that jury trials could be limited to offences such as rape, murder, and manslaughter. In a memo seen by The Times, Mr Lammy, who also serves as deputy prime minister, asserted that there was “no right” to jury trials in the UK and that such a change would not compromise a suspect’s rights.
