As another speaker on the other side of the House said, we need to be careful to tread in some spaces where angels fear to tread. One of those spaces is in the operation of the courts, as a key thread that goes through our system is the right for defendants to be heard and the rights of defendants to appear before the court and to face their accusers and to have a fair hearing before a jury of their peers, if they choose to elect a trial by jury. We need to be very cautious in interfering with any of those processes, to ensure that people who are accused in our country face a fair process.
