This petition was submitted during the 2015-2017 parliament
Rejected petition Make the CJS more equal, not favouring the bourgeoisie.
Andrew Picard, who is an Eton student, is the son of a very rich lawyer. He was allowed to use his mother's maiden in court to protect his family's reputation, when he was charged with being in possession of indecent images and videos of children. He was given an 18 month suspended sentence.
More details
The CJS is favouring the elite and this is evident via Andrew Picard's cast. The Lord Chancellor needs to open a judicial review in to the CJS and in to the judge, who allowed Picard to use his mother's maiden name.
