Today's Video Focus: The Washington Post is reporting that President Trump's former campaign
chairman Paul Manafort is in talks with special counsel Robert Mueller
about a possible plea just days before his second trial.
Focus of the Dar Article:
As the government prepares to convince practitioners of the benefits
of moving remand hearings for defendants in custody out of court and
into a 'video space', research released by HM Courts & Tribunals
Service has revealed significant concerns from those on the front line. A reply to an FoI request by former magistrate Penelope Gibbs,
director of Transform Justice, reveals that HMCTS published a 'user
research report' last December based on a 'condensed two-week discovery'
to understand what defendants, lawyers, police, probation and judges
require from virtual remand hearings.
