39 劳工议员反对Starmer关于限制陪审团审判的计划,理由是缺乏证据和更好的替代办法。 39 Labour MPs oppose Starmer’s plan to limit jury trials, citing lack of evidence and better alternatives.

总理Keir Starmer爵士可能面临39名劳工议员的叛乱,他们反对将陪审团审判仅限于谋杀和强奸等严重罪行或三年以上徒刑的案件的计划,以减少王室法院积压案件。 Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer faces potential rebellion from 39 Labour MPs over plans to limit jury trials to only serious crimes like murder and rape, or cases with sentences over three years, aimed at reducing crown court backlogs. 包括Karl Turner和Diane Abbott在内的议员反对这一举动,称其无效,是对基本权利的有害侵蚀,认为增加开庭日(目前未充分利用20,000天)是更好的解决办法。 The MPs, including Karl Turner and Diane Abbott, oppose the move, calling it ineffective and a harmful erosion of a fundamental right, arguing that increasing court sitting days—currently underutilized by 20,000 days—would be a better solution. 他们要求有证据表明,这一改变将大大减轻延误,并敦促在提供这种证据之前暂停工作,以及一项日落条款,以便在清理积压案件之后恢复陪审团审判。 They demand evidence that the change would significantly ease delays and urge a pause until such proof is provided, along with a sunset clause to restore jury trials once the backlog is cleared. Starmer坚持认为,陪审团审判对严重案件仍然至关重要。 Starmer maintains that jury trials remain essential for serious cases.
