The main focus today is the trial and sentencing of James Jonas, an Oxford man found guilty of setting fire to his own boat after a gentleman's agreement went wrong.

The pod also covers the sentencing of a jury member, Alan Peck, who admitted to researching during a rape trial he was sat on at Oxford Crown Court in 2022.

He was recently fined in court for the offence.

It also covers a coroner's recent 'preventing future death' report after the death of Harry Dunn, 19.

The teen was killed after a collision in August 2019 when US government employee Anne Sacoolas’s car collided with his bike while she was driving on the wrong side of the road outside RAF Croughton in Northamptonshire.
