For the first time, Crown Court sentencing remarks will be broadcast.
Following a change in the law, broadcast news channels will air judges’ sentencing remarks from the Crown Court for the first time later today (28 July).
The public will be able to see and hear judges explain the reasoning behind their sentences, providing a better understanding of how these decisions are made.
The move will allow access to some of the country’s most prominent courts, including the Central Criminal Court, which is also known as the Old Bailey.
