00:00The British justice system is in trouble.

00:04People no longer believe in it.

00:06Almost three quarters think judges' sentences

00:10aren't tough enough.

00:12Whether it's celebrities walking free after breaking the law.

00:16Hugh Edwards avoids jail.

00:19Or murderers sentenced to psychiatric care instead of prison.

00:23Enough is enough.

00:24Heads need to roll.

00:25They wanted him tried for murder, not manslaughter.

00:29Sentencing is the final part of every trial and the most controversial.

00:34I think it's outrageous.

00:35The problem is short sentences, it's too easy.

00:38It's the part that makes people very angry.

00:42So tonight, we're going to try and experiment.

00:45These offences fall into the highest category.

00:47We're going to reconstruct sentencing hearings.

00:51The whole matter arose from an extraordinary series of events.

00:55We're going to unravel real crimes.

01:14What sentence would you give them?

01:16I've really struggled with this one.

01:18Where do we pitch it?

01:19I would say 12.

01:20Life in prison.

01:22You'll be watching with groups of people who have their own experience of the justice system.

01:28You can compare your judgement to theirs.

01:31Personally, I wouldn't jail them.

01:34And to the actual judge's sentence.

01:37I sentence you to be detained during Her Majesty's pleasure.

01:42Knock them up and throw away the key.

01:45Or let them off lightly.

01:47What will you decide?

01:49Let them in.

01:54What do you decide?

01:56Let them in.

01:57Let them in.

01:58Police.

01:59They have to be beaten.
