Ask Bad People: Would the same verdict be reached with identical crimes?

Dr Julia Shaw and Sofie Hagen answer listener questions.

How reliable is the legal system in the UK, i.e. how likely is it that the same verdict would be reached with identical crimes? Should we be putting our trust in the jury system? If Artificial Intelligence ever independently committed a crime, what would ‘justice’ look like, since punishment doesn’t apply? Dr Julia Shaw and Sofie Hagen tackle your questions in this bonus edition of Bad People.

Warning: This episode may contain sensitive topics and some strong language.
