A new government bill is being proposed to limit jury trials in England and Wales, allowing for judge-only trials in serious cases to tackle the backlog in the criminal courts. Proposed by the Ministry of Justice, the bill aims to restrict jury trials to more serious offenses, such as murder and rape, while allowing judges to hear a wider range of cases alone.
