I was one of them, a cub reporter on a weekly newspaper in which every case was recorded. Often the driving and other low-level offences would be listed in columns, and on one occasion our district council chairman, who had been fined for speeding, was transposed into the urinating in a public place column. Her Ladyship was far from amused...<br /><br />Little did I imagine then that I would in the Nineties be 'elevated' to the magistracy, but the last time I saw a journalist in my court was for a murder a couple of years ago. Now what's left of local reporters get their reports direct from the court offices, so miss so much of what really goes on, as evidenced by both the newspapers you have highlighted. More credit to them for still sending staff to court.Jaguarnoreply@blogger.com
