Series 1 Recap

Before Series 2 commences on Wednesday 28 August 2024, here is a recap of what happened in Series 1, both as a reminder for everyone that has listened to all previous 14 episodes in Series 1 and also as a help to new listeners who may be short on time.

What will follow in Series 2?

In Series 2, Aidan is sentenced and we will delve into the sentencing process. How does sentencing really work? What approach will be taken by the judge to sentencing Aidan for murder, and what approach will be taken by the judge in sentencing the reluctant witness Ethan Green for contempt of court, as well as for his attack on Bianca.

And we’ll go into detail about appeals against both sentence and conviction and how exactly they work. As Aidan appeals against his murder conviction, we’ll also look in detail at the rules on prosecution disclosure, and how the prosecution should deal appropriately with information which can assist a defendant facing a criminal charge.

And in Series 2 we will also look at the concept of Pleading Guilty which, whilst it may sound simple, actually carries with it a number of complications and considerations for any defendant, a process which becomes even more difficult if you ever want to appeal your conviction after pleading guilty. We’ll look at exactly how that works too.

That just leaves me to say, I hope you enjoy this Recap Episode and I look forward to welcoming you for the start of Series 2 of the Defence Barrister Podcast on Wednesday 28th August, and then available weekly every Wednesday from wherever you get your podcasts.

Thank you and See you soon.
