Although
a day`s work could become routine for those of us who`ve been sitting
for longer than some in government would want, surprises are never
far from the public entrance. That was brought home to me when we
began a trial for a relatively minor motoring offence. Although
listed for a morning only the case ran until 4.00p.m. The
defendant’s wife was an acquaintance of the complainant who turned
out to be an ex lover of the defendant and whose current live in
partner was an ex employee of the defendant who was almost certainly
the current lover of his independent witness. And we had evidence from all of them. We certainly heard
more than we bargained for. Perhaps we should send a resume to the
script writers of Eastenders but then you couldn`t make it up.
