Northpod Law & UKCLB Podcasts show

Summary: Listen to the show here. This week, Lyndon focuses on the Ian Watkins case. He looks at the offences to which the defendants pleaded, some of the facts (not too graphic) and the sentences imposed. Further, he explains what an extended sentence is, as there seemed to be some confusion in the press as to what it meant, and also briefly looks at the issue of protection post-release.
