00:00What David Lammy was talking about was the way in which the criminal justice system is currently
00:04letting down victims. The idea that you would have to wait after a horrible attack, sexual or
00:11otherwise, sometimes for years to be able to bring your case to court, is just wholly wrong.
00:19We've lost sight of the victims in this and what David Lammy is trying to do through the reforms
00:25that he's proposing, along with the additional investment that's going on into the court
00:29system, is to enable people to get justice more quickly, particularly victims, but defendants
00:35as well who are waiting years in order to have their cases decided.
