What is a trial of the facts and why is this legal mechanism being reviewed?

Good Morning Ulster

Available for over a year

Criminal lawyer Paul Dougan explains what a trial of facts is and how it works. It's after Stormont announced they're reviewing the legal framework. Eleanor Donaldson, wife of convicted sex offender Jeffrey Donaldson, faced a trial of the facts earlier this year after she was was found unfit for a conventional trial on mental health grounds.
