Victims will be at heart of system...

COWARDLY attackers who refuse to leave their cells to hear their sentence will be forced to attend by tough new laws.

Justice Secretary Shabana Mahmood has promised to restore "faith that justice will be delivered".

And she has vowed to put "victims at the heart of the system" by ensuring criminals who have destroyed their lives face justice.
