- With unprecedented access to Britain’s busiest legal aid practice, The Briefs takes us into the cut-throat world of criminal law. The Briefs follows the skilful lawyers of Tuckers in Manchester, as they look after their clients on cases ranging from blackmail to murder. The lawyers cover everything from taking on a case where a 63 year old woman is accused of drug dealing to a poet accused of benefit fraud. This is how justice really works.

Steven is an absolute dropkick.
OilWho I know he was soo cocky and had a really bad attitude from the start
@@emma8639 he is a complete Nepis!
He says he's committed the act and knew it was wrong, but is pleading guilty. He is clearly not as smart as he thinks he is, or he doesn't know how the law works. He should have gone to all the meetings with his lawyer before the trial.
Agreed. What an idiot.
@@dadt8009 Pub is more important and his drinking buddies know more depending on how much they have drunk and who paid for it
16:04 "We need to get more people committing crimes and repeat offenders so we can stay in business."
I think that pretty much sums the legal system up in a nutshell.
How???? The people have committed the crimes regardless... it’s not immoral for lawyers to want business. It’s not as if they’re telling people to commit crimes. Give your head a wobble mate. They’re saying don’t let the crims go to other lawyers
@@everythinghaschanged42 I think you should give you're own head a wobble & see the bigger picture ...Piff
Yeah because people are gonna keep committing crimes anyway so let these lawyers benefit from it.🤷🏽♀️
That was soo disgusting
That also applies to the medical industry, healthy people doesn’t make profit
I wish this was a series instead of a one off. I really enjoyed it.
Theres 2 more on this channel!👍
Ginge1990 where? I've seen this & one other.. but haven't found a third?
it is a series actually
look around. I found a few.
seek and you shall find as the old saying goes....
I really wish this was an actual tv show or there multiple videos (more than 2).. I really enjoy the flow of the show & the easy going of how things are explained & done. Plus the narrator 👌👌 granted I'm an American so none of the laws or anything I learn applies to me but for some reason I'm always interested in learning about other countries & their forms, ways of governments.
it is no so different, because American law derived from English law.
British justice system is very different from the American. I would say the Australian justice system is similar to the British though.
They’re other episodes
All episodes are on TH-cam which is at least 3
Who says crime doesn't pay!...... It pays the solicitors, the police, the courts, the prisons. It pays the whole system 😂
So true
Police get wages and kick backs ..and MONEY from dealers .
if crime stopped tomorrow the whole ecomemy would collapse
@eejitseverywhere PIRC and professionell standards LOVE to destroy a cops life? you are seriously misguided mate...and it does go on a lot more than people think...
And through legal aid we pay.
Trying to get a speed freak to make a no comment interview. Good luck with that.
Pmsl 😂 😂 😂 true tho 👌💯👌
HILARIOUS & SO TRUE😂👏😂
I'm surprised the corrupt police judges & lawyers haven't picked up on using this tactic to get people to incriminate themselves or have they 😯 slipping it in the breakfast of people being held in prison awaiting trial. I think the big high profile cases wld benefit the prosecution in this way YIKES
😂😂😂👍
Spud from Trainspotting's interview. Lol.
22 previous convictions and he’s still walking around on the street... that’s messed up.
Feel sorry for the lawyer representing the sexoffender you can see he's repulsed by him
Stephen Cooper yeahhh you could def tell when the guy was describing the younger man and saying how attractive he is, he was suuuuper awkward and uncomfortable. Don’t blame him at all
How about his parents?
He lives with them as a condition of bail.
That’s raw.
He should have never been given bail !
i bet he was glad the camera crew were with him on that one because yikes
It's not that bad these days in Salford, got Tuckers helping me atm with a dodgy drug drive charge....... When I say dodgy it's very borderline as the medication prescribed is the one that's over the threshold
@3:40 "I want to tell you something between me and you" go on then all 250k of us are listening 🤪
I feel fundamentally better about who I am and the great life I lead. Thanks to the offenders of Manchester. Needed the reminder.
Shout out to Britain for keeping powdered wigs relevant
Mr. Morris 😂😂😂😂😂
we shall keep our traditions if we wish. Now get along with you.
FIONA GREGORY girl it was a compliment, now get along w that attitude 🙄
Shout out to the UK for giving the world common law and the Corporate structure...
And super gohnorrea.
If your solicitor shows up in a Ford Focus covered in tattoos, long hair, gold rings and smoking 40 biffters a day and then immediately tells you to plead guilty. You know your not getting the créme de la créme of legal aid 😆
That second your should actually be you’re
Better Call Saul
Better Call Saul
🤣
😂😂😂
I wouldn't be surprised Sports Direct buys Tucker's and calls it Tucker's Direct.
Tuckers can set up concessions inside Sports Direct. And they can give a free SD mug with every case brought to Tuckers.
most of these defendants, unfortunately, just aren't that bright.
The Spirit Safe And very, very vulnerable and weren’t handed the best cards in life.
@@johnjohansson6277 What does that matter? You don't need "best cards" to understand that a solicitor is on your side, and it's best to listen to them.
It's not unfortunate ,that would be their innocent victims .Fortunate for the public they get locked up
@@tophatproductions3031 I have never understood why some people refuse to listen to their solicitors. I think it stems from the fact people just want to avoid any negative outcome at all costs when it's often better to perform damage mitigation instead of trying to get away scott free, even if it means prison.
It's much better to plea guilty for a guaranteed prison sentence of 12 months instead of a 95% chance of two years of more for a not guilty plea.
Mr Malcomn was he for real? He seemed a narcissist to me! Unbelievable running away and making one excuse after another..Kind of explains why he committed the crime in the first place!
thick. thinks he's something clever but is just dumb.
Bingo!
Drinking buddies giving legal advice
And this comment is what happens when people hear the world narcissist a lot but don't understand it. It's clear as day, the guy isn't that smart. He's tried to talk his way out of a crime while not being smart enough to know what is happening.
To get an American public defender to go visit a crime scene to validate facts and testimony is unheard of. I would get yelled at just for doing it on my own time...lol
Oh Gary was feeding the ducks alright!!!
he was just watching young boys, no no, ducks, he was feeding the ducks!! lmfao
Typical pervert excuse lol
It SCREAMS EUPHEMISM 😂
@@SAVAGE.paradise not true. I've not heard that one before hahaha
HHAHAHAHAHA
Those sexual offenders are the worst!!!
I dont understand how they can reduce legal aid for criminal cases - you have a right to be represented in Court!! They can't take this away or they breach the most basic of human rights.
exactly - it will basically end any notion of every human to be able to be innocent until proven guilty. doing away with that, can you imagine what would happen? without that then tyranny would come v v quick.
Well perhaps these law firms can leave the serial repeat offenders and let them start finding a way to pay for their own lawyers and tighten their belts and defend the people that need it. I would say after 3 repeats that's it no more free support. A billion pounds a year! How much of that goes to defending these yobs who get told by these lawyers to say no comment and they walk out the door back to do what they do best.
Steven Malcolm's photo is in the dictionary under 'MUPPET'!!!
Thank you for sharing. Hope justice will be served to all the criminals in my family who live in Gloucester and Cheltenham.
I see a consistent pattern with all the defendants: They all have a general sense of apathy, indifference and lack of embarrassment and fear for what they've been accused to have done. There's just a complete lack of any feeling.
That's what's wrong with this country now. There's no justice anymore, no shame, and defo no respect....all thanks fo EU law that allowed our children to do what they liked and now we're reaping the 'rewards'.
Must be v hard for these solicitors to stay motivated. I'd become apathetic myself if I cared more than my clients.
Put them on hard labour chain gangs, see if they feel that!
That’s not right, you’re just too bad in reading people, these people are criminals for a reason.
@@josiewales7071 your children can go do what they like because you’re all terrible parents who cannot discipline them, not because of law.
What a Vampiric system the whole mess is.
I love English programmes for a change.
Me too! Everything seems or be in the US 😒 I enjoy them, but...would be great if there was Scottish stuff other than the likes of 'The Scheme' which makes us look like, well...scum 😒
true
I just hope the Judge has a Heart!! That’s Cracked me up. LOL 😂
Look on it like a holiday 😂 his face 😂😂😂👍🏻
You could tell baldy malcolm was guilty as sin and crapping it big time , the running away , phone off and the attitude gave it away .
The lawyer with the long hair and earring seems like a very unique individual. I'd say he's great conversation at a dinner party.
I see Tuckers employs the finest legal minds in the UK. That said, if I were ever in need of counsel, I might give them a call!
Lol
I sure hope you are kidding!
I've used them multiple times, not a bad company at all. Never for violent crime I must admit...... Well there was one fight but that was 2 concenting adults and my opponent came off a little worse. I had a young blonde haired breif from the Manchester branch that was amazing.
And I've only used legal Aid on a few occasions.
@@stevenewton1126 you sound like a prat
@@stevenewton1126 why not try and get a decent career or better still start a business and have some ambition. Hey you might not need to use legal aid again, sounds amazing doesn't it
Nigel comes back from a holiday in Egypt but uses a public defender . Marvellous.
More episodes, please!!!
Yeah, I really wish there were more than just 3 episodes too.
Better call Saul :)
LOL! Gotta love that British sense of humor.
who on earth is that? British is best, always.
Call Saul What??... :)
I love a story with a happy ending :D
Thanks for sharing 👍
There's a very high correlation between criminals and low IQ,this program will prove this to be true.
Maybe the low IQ correlation is actually better aligned with poverty rather to criminality and... with poverty comes poor schooling, poor health, few opprotunities, lack of hope and many *_young and mentally unhealthy_* impoverished kids tend to think "why should you have so much when I have so little?" And that leads to take crimes witnessed in the doc.. with the exception of pedo's and rapists 😠
Either way we need to find a way to fix the thinking of these kids *_OR_* it will only get worse as the gap between rich and poor grows.
OR theres a very high correlation between *getting caught* for crimes and low IQ...
There's countless smart criminals who get away with all this stuff every day.
@@thesouluniversal Exactly!
@@melissaglover5331 I agree, I think we're advanced enough in the West now, to not have massive wealth gaps and poverty... Shame..
This is cheery stuff. The depressing antics of depressing people in the most depressing region of the most depressing country in the world.
its pretty much the same in all uk
Thanks for taking the time to upload the videos tony leics uk
Whoa you really feel for these lawyers some of their clients are dumb as a bag of bricks. They flatly cant even put their egos aside and have the audacity to blame the lawyers for giving them advice they don't want to hear.
Could Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant adapt this a comedy series?
that steven guy kisses his daughter way too much.. or too intimately? weird
43:02 wtf, that guy kisses his daughter like his girlfriend, this is very messed up indeed.
Jamie Carter the daughter is a scumbag as well
He just really really loves his daughter, she’s beautiful in his eyes
Wouldn't quite say that , but he talks about her in the shower for no reason and looked from his body language like he watches thru the keyhole 35:49
Omg people used to kiss there kids all the time, my parents didn’t, didn’t even hug me I would of loved that. Not anything weird kissing yer kids.
Jamie Carter you want to get creeped out ? Watch trump paw at his daughter. Now that’s gross🤢
That father and daughter relationship at the end seems a little 'strange' he kissed her on the lips so many times, at one point I thought they were going to make-out!
'I was feeding the err...'
'sounds quackers I know but tell me about feeding the ducks'
lol
Her health is “not that good” but she is smoking!?
Who goes to court in track pants lol
I wish I could leave court for a beer.
I was born in the UK but except for going back there for two years for college have lived in the U.S. since I was six. I have to say I'm amazed at how well these solicitors treat their clients. They come to your house?!? The public defenders here (public pretenders) barely give you the time of day most of the time you never even speak to them except on the day of court. UK public defenders make house calls?! Whoa.
It's how they make business. I've dealt with being in court on numerous occasions and have always stuck with the same law firm. The first time they dealt with me they stayed in contact frequently and done an incredible job of keeping me out of prison. You feel like you know some of them personally. They will speak to you on the phone, brief you before, and during court. Honestly they are great people and although it's their living, they take it above and beyond that.
You make being a serial crook so romantic lol
Not too romantic sadly. I served time in the end
@@generichuman2044 well i hope you are on the straight now and it wasn't too bad for you inside.Good luck to you.
Shane Sawyer I agree I’ve used the same law firm loads of times and like you say you end knowing them all by first name and end up been like work colleagues.
Love this show from USA
Take it easy on the meth jeez
@@JWB86 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
How can the old people expect anyone to believe they didn't know they had £25,000. of drugs in their house and freezer? Why didn't they use the money to buy teeth instead of drugs?
This is Manchester we do things differently here
It's the drugs that wrecked the teeth
90% of business is from repeat offenders. Legal aid is largely a subsidy for career criminals.
Mr Johnson earned his money with that Guy,I hope the judge has a Heart .
the CPS were not on the ball in one of these cases. They should be really, with all the staff that work for them.
Not sure what your experiences are but the CPS are woefully understaffed and have been for years and years. All these staff you mention are non-existent. I work with the CPS everyday and have done for about 15 years, it's never been as bad as it has.
Amphetamines clearly dont help all users lose weight 🤣
Gurning bro, I am all over this
They never prosecute the financial banker who manage to put more money in their pocket than invest for their client
Yes they do. What a stupid thing to write. There are huge law practices specializing in white collar crime for a reason. And they generate considerably more revenue than bottom of the barrel Tuckers.
Looll love how smug the lawyer with the crutches is "perhaps he should have kept his appointment.." 😂😂😎
He's right though
Some of these comments are pure gold
That Steven Malcolm is crazy lol, but he's got Richard Branson for his lawyer (37:00)!
Uploaded whilst im struggling to comprehend caldwell, Cunningham and recklessness in general.
The law needs to change.. If you are convicted of 2 convictions over a 3 year period, you are banned from benefits for 5 years. That would stop the same faces appearing in court month after month, year after year.
Love it!!!!
Or, it might increase crime 🤔
@@stewartmckenzie5163 well I think people are sick of paying people to then go out and commit crimes against the very people who are paying your rent. Council tax. And giving you a schilling in your pocket.
@@bmker5469 so you would have what? Repeat offenders act as litigants in person? Which takes up far more court time- which costs far more money, and leads to far more injustices.
How many people realise that in the majority of the cases, legal aid has to be paid back, or they have a hold on your house etc
that's if you have a house ;)
What do you mean paid back ???
What house ?
@@sandrafinbar thats right cant take what you not got
take a look at the jaw on the solicitor at around 8.45 looks like hes been in the attic :)
Justice works if you have money
Yvonne Bales well said
I love how people with no prior knowledge or experience of the judicial system watch a documentary of a tacky law firm and think that they are now lawyers.
12 months = 6 months in prison.
Fiona Gregory about 4 actually
If say 5 with home detention curfew
Eh kissing your daughter on the lips and something he said earlier has me creeped out about the guy in the Rooney Case or whatever.
same here reason i just looked on comments!
Yh, me too...summat not right there eh?
mr malcom you should have kept in touch with your brief in any court follow the lawyers advice
Even baldy's brief seemed happy that mongy Malcolm went2 prison :)
Well, I too would be very happy to be finished with that case, since Malcolm not only is dead weight for the defense but he also works against himself. Had he listened to his brief, his sentence would have had a way better outcome for himself.
Is there a part 2 to this?
21:30 The BS in this one is strong!
smh, geez, if only the legal system was about finding out the truth and then dishing out punishment as required. Seems to be one big ego trip for everyone, from guilty offenders, to the lawyers to the judges.
So dude off the street gets 5 years for simple theft or whatever and the guy that harassing a the same person again gets off bc the the court didnt ask the witness to show up . Idk but with how some of these cases can go bad as many stalking cases its crazy they messed up on this one and the victim should be able to sue over it .
Massive Attack on the soundtrack! Massive!!!
Babylon Central top band. I used to own their singles on tape... when Karmacoma came out I almost wet my pants, what a tune, Live With Me was and is one of my favourite tracks ever.
Teardrop from Mezzanine is beautiful and even tho the video they made to accompany it was a little bizarre at first glance it is still up there as one of the greatest of the 90’s.
@@lannipie Love those moments. Mezzanine definitely in my all time top 10 island albums. Might have to crank some Massive Attack while I attack a constitutional law assignment today!
They admit that they need repeat offenders, shop lifters etc.... They would like to encourage crime so that they can make more money. What a corrupt system.
"Dirty and dumb criminals, wannabe famous. At the expense of hard working, and law binding UK tax payer's.
Everyone is beautifully tanned. What's going on there? It's not sunny in Manchester.
Why would one send a young trainee lawyer to a convicted sexy offender who assaulted you men?
The blackmailer is a complete knucklehead, 20 months for being a fool. He should lay off the booze he obviously has no control of it.
You can't cure stupid, you can't defend it in court either.
I can't believe the case was dropped. awful.
More criminal than the criminals!
"it was my Boss" excellent career move .
I bet they don't pay their legal secretaries much either.
Fiona Gregory they tend to be paralegals, salary is quite good, not like the solicitors of course, but not bad 😏
in my experience, it is just solicitors and legal secretaries. In the south west, the pay is dire compared to the rest of the country.
They are just secretaries it’s an easy job
Vera takes speed? 😳
The Alex dude is crazy
Seeing a father kiss his grown daughter on the mouth is a bit much for me. 🤢. Maybe I’m too jaded?
If I were a lawyer I would want to do shipping law,construction ,banking and planning certainly not state supported work hanging out with these people.
They are not great lawyers. They are where they fit.
well that is your choice.
Just wait and see what kind of people you’ll be hanging out with in those fields and you might not be too certain!
Well, criminal law is fascinating, but it does not pay here in the UK.
@@sisyphus1811 Assholes who pay I have to deal with them in my current field.
I laughed out loud when they said „we need shoplifters, we need repeat offenders””because they are at least asking for us” 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
What a Group of lovely People Salt-Of-The-Earth.....hehe
imagine if you get sexually assaulted and the court messes up and the charges are dropped
Honestly, made me livid just watching that
Hold on MARKETING TEAM lol!
These lawyers want an increase in crime. Simple as. A public defender would be better and cheaper to administer
Terrence actually seems half decent. I have no idea why he's wasting his time with that Vera as his partner.
Probably been together for years!
Franklin .... classic wide boy 👍
I just hope the judge has a heart........mate u tried to blackmail Wayne Rooney wtf
at 25:55 "It's impossible to get drunk off Carling." lol!!! and they only had 8 pints, so what's the problem? :)
I’m guessing these defendants ended up on Jeremy Kyle at some point 😂 21:02
'Burglereh' 'Quantiteh' 'Guilteh'
I could not represent such blatant liars along with their criminal behaviours.
Pretty good show eh
21:13 that look across the solicitors face 😂🤢🤮
A fence should be thrown around Manchester, they have all done something, jail the lot of them.
I’m from Manchester and trust me I’ve never come across people like this in my life 😂
@@dgmmgd8506 I was drunk when i wrote this, sorry.
Nigel was talking about some national front type immigration bollocks I bet. Taxi drivers don't want a fight. They want money. They don't drive idiots around using their fuel and wasting their license fees on running around not getting paid. The nicer they are, more chance of a tip. Bet he likes 'them' now hahaha
The
