Today I experienced the UK court system for the first time, as a prosecution witness in a relatively large Magistrates Court trial. Having read The Secret Barrister I wanted to see how my experience matched up.
The trial was scheduled at a court 27 miles from where the witnesses and defendant live: 45 mins by car, over 90 mins by public transport. There are several closer courts but I guess they didn't have space. We were told to be there at 9am for a 9.30 trial start. (1/3)
