Jo Hardy-Susskind interviewed on BBC Radio 2

Jo Hardy-Susskind spoke to Jeremy Vine on BBC Radio 2 on 23 April, taking part in a wide‑ranging discussion about the government’s proposals to restrict some jury trials.

During the interview, Jo set out why the criminal justice system needs juries, explaining how trial by jury remains a cornerstone of fairness and public confidence in the criminal courts.

The conversation also addressed how serious crimes, including sexual offences are carefully and fairly tried by a jury of 12 and why the collective judgment of jurors plays a vital role in ensuring balanced, independent decision‑making.
