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.

Classic
I am often irritated by downmarket papers' use of the word 'just' in front of the length of any sentence, implying that the 'out-of-touch' softies on the bench, with or without wigs, have got it wrong again.
Today's Mail has:
Just five years for being an accessory to 28,000 murders: Retired U.S. car worker John Demjanjuk convicted of Nazi death camp crimes
Only five years, eh? He is 91 though. What do you suggest lads - perhaps another 50 years?
