A new after-care pilot program has been announced to provide jurors with free counselling sessions following their involvement in traumatic trials, such as the cases of Lucy Letby and Logan Mwangi. This initiative, aimed at addressing the mental and emotional strain jurors may experience, includes six free counselling sessions and enhanced support. The program is set to begin this summer, reflecting a growing recognition of the psychological impact that high-profile and distressing criminal cases can have on those serving in the jury.
