Judge Sentences Man Over Mobile Phone

Well not any judge, but Caroline Ludlow, who is a long standing friend. It was only a non-custodial case and the defendent, Aftab Ahmed, was stuck in a traffic jam.

So she decided that she'd sentence him over his mobile phone.

Apparently a world first and something that has been reprinted in at least 30 newspapers and web sites. But not so far any in the USA.
