Christmas court anecdotes sought

John Forsyth

Journalist John Forsyth is compiling anecdotes for an item entitled ‘Christmas Eve in the Courthouse’ for BBC Radio 4 next month.

Criminal courts often sit on Christmas Eve. Misjudged festive celebrations by Santa or his elves often lead to their appearance among the overnight custodies.

John would be grateful for your examples of sentiment, humbug, absurdity or generosity from the bench, in the dock or among the defence and prosecution.

Anonymity for those who wish it, flagrant name-dropping for everyone else. Contact John on carrochcomm@aol.com.
