Musings and Snippets from a recently retired JP. I served for 31 years, mostly in west London. I was Chairman of my Bench for some years, and a member of the National Bench Chairmen's Forum All cases are based on real ones, but anonymised and composited. All opinions are those of one or more individuals. JPs swear to enforce the law of the land, whether or not they approve of it. Nothing on here constitutes legal advice.

Some Folk Just Can't Take A Hint
A serial shoplifter with a heroin habit was given a six week prison sentence on a Friday, suspended for 12 months with a drug rehabilitation requirement. He reoffended over the weekend, so on the Tuesday we implemented the suspended sentence in full and added the same again consecutively for the new offence. I expect that we shall see him again.
