Get ready to plunge into the riveting world of legal complexities as we welcome Michael Mulligan, a seasoned barrister and Solicitor, to our podcast. Packed with insights and thought-provoking perspectives, we'll unravel the collateral consequences of committing an offence and the intricate aspects of third-party records in criminal cases. Mulligan guides us through the maze of evidence collection, especially in scenarios where the police don't possess the evidence, as in the case of a prison assault video. We also delve into the privacy concerns surrounding the people featured in such videos.
Moving on, we dive headfirst into the challenging terrain of the prison disciplinary process. Mulligan sheds light on the current system where a standard of "probably" is adopted while punishing inmates, a practice that could be at odds with the constitutional right of presumption of innocence until proven guilty. We debate the fairness of this system, especially for inmates awaiting trial while presumed innocent. To add to the mix, Mulligan paints a vivid picture of the realities of prison life, underscoring how this environment influences legal proceedings. Buckle up for this intense exploration of the legal intricacies within the prison system!
