An article from the Times reporting (as much as it can) on concerns that the Brit legal system is slowly being shut off from media coverage. As a person inf favor of media coverage of the courts, I agree. I think all courts should be covered like Wise County.

Another thing that caught my eye is the section talking about how "[t]he Criminal Justice Bill allows the Court of Appeal to consider ordering a retrial in criminal cases where the prosecution claims there is new and compelling evidence." I guess they do not have to worry about double jeopardy. The ability of the government to try and retry until they get it right is just scary.
