[English assassin]

Another fun day in the youth court:

http://www.guardian.co.uk/crime/arti...740933,00.html

Britain's youngest drink-driver punched a prosecutor in the back, threw a jug of water at magistrates and hurled abuse at court officials as she was told she would be locked up for four months.
Proceedings at Newbury youth court stopped yesterday when Leanne Black, 14, kicked a chair over and lunged at prosecuting lawyer Lesley Gilmore.

The teenager raced around the courtroom swearing at officials and grappling with members of her family before security guards, who had been alerted when Mrs Gilmore pressed a panic button in the court, arrived and led her away

Black had arrived at court armed with eggs - to pelt photographers with - and her mother, Nora, also contributed to the day's events by sticking out her bottom for the cameras and saying "film this".

Black apologised to the court, its officials and Mrs Gilmore, and was told that because of her age there would be no further sentence for her outburst

Soooo, you can turn up at court prepared for a fracas, attack lawyers, judges and court staff, and get, err, no punishment whatsoever. Any parents of young children, or indeed anyone else with any common sense, want to comment on what message this will inevitably give young Ms Black about the importance of obeying authority?

Bring back the birch...

I think this says a lot.

She shoud have gotten a few months extra for that.
It wasn't an outburst of a surprised person, but a prepared assault.

Ho ho! Paupers, eh?

[Avicenna]

The mum should definitely get some. Indecent exposure...

Some people really need to get a job

The funniest thing is the article says she was banned from driving at the age of 12 for 2 years...which would make her 14...

So in effect she would 'legally' be entitled to drive illegally at 14 years of age!?!?!

How funny is that??? You couldnt make that up if you wanted to...

No wonder this country is going to hell....our judges seem to have simple arithmatic problems for starters, as well as a dubious knowledge of basic motoring laws...oh well.

[Kralizec]

I guess that the idea behind the original sentence was that if she drove again, they would have legal grounds to punish her more harshly.

Lot of good that did.

I get homesick and then I read the news...

At 14 you should be able to realise that running around court attacking people and swearing is wrong. A further sentence should not have been discounted simply because of her age.

I wonder where she gets her disrepectful side from.

Such people make we wonder: Are they just plain stupid? Do they simply not care about what other people think of them? Or a combination?
