  "textContent": "*MP Charlotte Nichols] tells Commons she waited 1,088 days for her rape case to reach court. [\n\n[Nonetheless,] Charlotte Nichols opposes plan to cut jury trials in England and Wales and calls [instead] for creation of special courts to hear rape cases.*\n\nI basically agree with her: prosecuting crime is vital and so is the right to a trial by jury. There is no fundamental conflict between them — all that's needed is to _tax the rich_ enough to pay for these and the other things that even non-rich people deserve.",
