MoJ to remove right to trial by jury for thousands of cases in controversial overhaul
Exclusive: Courts minister says change needed to stop criminals opting for juries to delay cases, sometimes by years, and clear huge backlog

Two Eritreans tried to assassinate the butcher, Graziani, in Addis Ababa. Eritrea was ~50 years into being colonized by Italy at the time. The response was the Italians burning people alive for three days. And what do they do in Italy as reparations? Build him a statue to honor him. Disgusting.
Italy’s colonial past was as brutal “as anyone else’s”, from poison gas in Ethiopia to concentration camps in Yugoslavia.
Yet the nation hides behind the myth of the “good Italian.”
