    These instructions to the jury are not only virtuous because they illustrate the virtues of neutrality and impartiality by instructing the jury to only consider the evidence and to not be influenced when deliberating by any preconceived notions, influences, or prejudices. These instructions also envelop the common practice employed by judges of “dispassion” to prevent “emotion from exerting any influence" wherever such opportunities exist in order to maintain fairness and equality to all in the courtroom regardless of standing or background. This admonition and instruction by Judge Ito to the jury also alludes to the virtue of testimonial justice described by Miranda Fricker in Epistemic Injustice in that the jury and as well as the judge…

    On the 8th of November I visited Oxford crown court; whilst I had previously attended various levels of courts to witness trials, I had never watched a sentencing. Therefore, intrigued to see the process, I decided to watch the sentencing of Tom Mobey. Immediately upon entering the courtroom I noticed a very different atmosphere to trial, one that was much more private and personal. There was a limited number of people in court: just the two opposing counsel, a clerk, the defendant and his accompanying custody officer. In addition, the defendant was not retained in the dock behind glass, but rather sat in front of it.…
