I think some are this fella's obviously a limp wrister. I heard earlier R4 I think that 75% are getting remanded in custody for referral as you say to Crown Court which I suppose is encouraging. As posted before a lot are charged with burglary - a shame there's not some old offence of something like rioting and sedition on the statute books with a minimum of 12 years or transportation to some hell holeOriginally Posted by Englishman2010
I read somewhere that Magistrates in Birmingham were referring cases to the Crown Court as they felt they were unable to dish out harsh enough sentences to the rioters - at least some Judges are in touch with reality
