- Murder, organised crime groups and more, with Dominic D'Souza. He joined us to talk about some of the most memorable cases in his 20 years of working in criminal courts. This podcast is jam-packed with humorous and frightening revelations, it's guaranteed to keep you glued to your seats.
In one of his murder trials (baby shaking trial), he shares how two medical experts were poles apart in their findings, with one saying that the baby had been murdered and his father should be put away for murder, and the other saying that it was a case of meningitis. We also spoke about his experience of defending organised crime groups and his most intimidating moments in a prison cell in a prison cell when he came face to face with a client who'd been charged with killing for satanic purposes. This has to be the best thing on the internet, so get stuck in right now.
Dominic briefly talked about our broken/underfunded criminal justice system amid continued legal aid cuts, the challenges of defending in rape cases and a topic that is hotly debated at the moment: whether or not juries should be abolished. We've dropped a TikTok on our channel featuring all the best bits too, check it out at @lawsimplifieduk.

I have a feeling that D'Souza knows who the Secret Barrister is.
Dominic calls it “a calling” but you might also call it “chronic assistance disorder”, such is the compulsion to help others less fortunate out of whatever predicament they find themselves.
Go away Hitler
We need to realign the CJS to be more victim orientated, whilst also respecting defendants:
-Defendant anonymity(in the media, press and social settings) unless convicted and appeals fail or no appeals lodge, or plead guilty.
-£2.5bn increase in funding to both the CPS and Criminal Legal Aid, coming from slashing Foreign Aid.
-£100 for each day compensation during pre trial detention and later imprisonment if acquitted, case collapses, or appeal quashes conviction.
-Sentencing to be drastically increased.
-Bring back the death penalty for: murder, child sexual offences, terror offences, drug offences and treason/espionage.
-Mandatory and unchallengeable deportation for any convicted and appeal failed foreign offender plus re-entry ban for life.
-Severe financial, or in case of violent offences prison sentences of the maximum of said offence, for parole boards who parolees offend whilst out, judges who grant pre-trial bail, and immigration tribunals who have blocked deportations of foreign offenders. Whom of have gone on to re-offend whilst in society
I did three years as a volunteer in a prison and saw the terrible work of the barristers and solicitors locking innocent people up due to poor representation. One lady is currently doing 24 years for murder yet innocent and yet was not even at the murder yet the prosecution the judge and the defence barrister all ignoring the evidence managed to convict her. This case is the work of the top QC barristers in the UK. Another lady convicted for insider dealing found the judge and barristers simply helped out the FCA without evidence (using missing evidence) to convict her. The judge did not understand the technical details of the case as insider dealing cases are few and far between...the lady I can assure you was innocent. The barristers on legal aid since funding cuts have not been doing their cases and instead taking cases but not representing their clients properly, hiding behind cost cuts of the legal aid system and some even tweet it on their twitter accounts. Barristers and solicitors should simply have protested in the court rooms stating clearly they could not represent their client due to funding and pay issues which would have been instantly resolved otherwise all case law would have stopped. Instead they took to twitter and other methods like relying on newspaper coverage of cases to convict the innocent by influencing juries before the trial. Magistrates are not legally trained so will put people into prison if they do not like something about them, perhaps a nicer person then they are!!! Magistrates are needy people who do this job unpaid but their motivation is to feel powerful in the community. The general tax paying public just do not understand how unsafe it is to live in modern Britain. CPS are putting cases forward with no validated evidence due to I assume the cost of validating evidence and these cases should never have been put in front of any judge...and of course the jury will go with the story and convict as the drama plays out. Outsourcing our prisons is simply a license to print money for companies like French company Sodexo. Please pray for what is left of our justice system in the UK.
You are spot on. I know of a casw we're a man was clear as rain cctv and more evident completely showing he was inoccent. Guess what he's still guilty haha you can't make this up
I've seen it go a lot more the other way.
Barristers laughing at broken victims and protecting monsters with a smile on their face.
@@thehandoftheking3314 it works both ways the way inoccent people locked up in UK and the guilty free
What did you do about this innocent woman? Now you’ve assured us in your expert view she was innocent - so?
I was convicted 10 years ago of a crime I did not commit. The evidence which would have cleared me had been destroyed with the judge telling the jury that sometimes these things happen. Prosecution said that they believed that I was pleading guilty. Right from magistrates court I pleaded NOT guilty.
Before my trial my own barrister tried to get me to plead guilty.
The two police officers giving evidence
Contradicted each other and the judges
Summing up was heavily biased against me as was my pre sentence report.
What a joke.
👌🏼
So much about legal channels is about the injustices done by uninformed judges who mainly take a liking or disliking to the person before them. The treatment of litigants in person shows the profession is hostile to justice unless they are the ones to propose who they would want to win. That’s other legal colleagues and not an unrepresented presumptuous pleb who dares to access justice without the use of their professional skills. Lawyers can never call themselves public servants like doctors clearly are. That is precisely the opposite of the duty of lawyers. To ensure justice no matter what - just as a doctor will cure anyone without presumption or favouritism. Im scared to live in this country under this legal system now I know what I do. Publishing the horrendous events is the only way to try to change this.

Faareen bro, nice work but try to be more interested into what the man is saying. You've got a poker face. Try to blink a bit less too.
Just my first thoughts looking at this mate.
Agree with that, I wish he wouldn’t disturb him half way through the story he was telling, I wish he would finish talking
The Bar is a cosy, closed shop of privilege, accepting into its secretive fold only the same profile. So it's good that it's now held to account by the media and society at large. We need more openness and accountability, not less. And complaining about advances in technology in the digital age! Do these barristers want a special exemption? What chutzpah!
Stupid camera angle.
These barristers don't get technology.
