This is interesting yet disturbing stuff. . . It however, begins to explain a few things with many questions left to be asked!!! Good team work 👏🏾
@NishaWaller4 and @NSakande combine a legal analysis of the jury system with archival research into UK’s anti-racist history to shed light on how the decision to introduce majority verdicts in 1967 was rooted in racial injustice. @appeal journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.11…
Chuffed to be mentioned in this important work by @EMaryQ
Drill rap lyrics are used regularly by police and prosecutors as evidence against young Black working-class defendants in UK criminal cases. How are lyrics, of little or no relevance, used to incriminate, as well as invoke stereotypes and mislead the court?
In a piece for @LRB, IRR trustee Frances Webber addresses how racialised children & young people – migrant, refugee & British – are treated as fully responsible adults by police, prosecutors & courts, through the cases of Shamima Begum & Ibrahima Bah 🧵⤵️ lrb.co.uk/the-paper/v46/…
