Transcripts
Trial transcripts are necessary (post conviction) because your defence team would require a copy of the trial transcript to enable them to present a full and proper submission based on fact and not guess work.
This is the recognised stance taken by the European Courts, the House of Lords and the Appeal Court, who each state that to judge the relevance of new evidence that material has to be in context to the transcript of the trial. Evidence without context is ambiguous at best.
The Cost of trial transcripts can be anywhere between £2000 for a five day trial to £6000 for a three week trial.
Trial Transcripts do not form any part of our fee.
