Original Note:
NNN. Poster is expressing an opinion. Laws changed subsequent to her earlier experience are not relevant. Any restrictions on a defendant’s previous convictions can also be lifted at the end of trial in the judge’s final order. So yes, the jury will become aware of them then. https://www.judiciary.uk/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/Reporting-Restrictions-in-the-Criminal-Courts-September-2022.pdf
