I went back to reporting from my local magistrates court today in a bid to keep myself busy and active over summer now that my university course has taken a break.
I used to report from there regularly up to about five years ago. Not much has changed except there are more laws to be broken and some new sentencing options.
I won't make any comment myself about what you will read. It's reported here as it was heard in court. I'll leave any comment on the facts of these cases to anyone who wants to leave one.
