Witness - The Criminal Law Podcast

This week, Jens-Ulrich Poppen talks to Winston Trew  about his 47-year campaign to clear his name, see his conviction overturned and finally receive justice after being imprisoned for a crime he did not commit. His story is also the story of Britain's Caribbean community since Windrush and its long struggle for racial equality and non-discrimination.

In this episode, Jens-Ulrich Poppen is speaking with criminal barrister Chris Daw KC about his recently published book 'Justice on Trial - Radical Solution for a System at Breaking Point'. Chris' message is crisp, provocative and powerful - close all prisons, legalise all drugs and stop the relentless criminalisation of children.

In this episode of 'Witness', Jens-Ulrich Poppen discusses the case for changes to the jury system in England and Wales in response to a coronavirus-affected criminal justice system in 'slow motion' as well as the pros and cons of being judged by a jury of one's peers with his guests - retired High Court Judge Sir Richard Henriques QC, BBC legal commentator Joshua Rozenberg QC and criminal barrister at 2 Dr. Johnson's Buildings Twanieka Alcindor.
