ACERCA DE ESTE EPISODIO
Most people know a convicted defendant can appeal a sentence.
Far fewer realise that, in certain cases, the prosecution can also ask for a sentence to be increased.
This episode explains how the Unduly Lenient Sentence (ULS) Scheme operates, why the threshold is deliberately high, and why Parliament has chosen to expand the rights of victimsfrom 29 June 2026. It also explores a broader question. Is the criminal justice system becoming increasingly willing to reopen decisions that were once regarded as final?
