And finally… bunkered

A juror has been fined after he was caught reading a golf magazine during a robbery trial.

And finally... bunkered

A court heard that David Barron “could not be bothered” with proceedings at Southampton Crown Court when he began looking at a copy of Golf Monthly.

Judge Peter Henry told the juror he should be “ashamed” of his actions after he was discovered by a court usher, The Sunday Telegraph reports.



As a result of his actions, Mr Barron was charged with contempt of court and brought back to Southampton Crown Court for his own hearing.
