Season 2 of the Law and Guidance Podcast begins with a discussion between Dr Sally Penni MBE and Simon Spence KC on proposed reforms to the criminal justice system, particularly the partial abolition of jury trials. 


Simon Spence KC undertakes both prosecuting and defending crime across East Anglia and London. Before taking silk, he worked regularly as a leading junior and often led in high-profile cases. In 2008 he was the prosecution junior in the successful prosecution of Steve Wright, the man accused of murdering five Ipswich women.
