| Judge: 'What's a website?'
This is obviously a serious matter but it really made me laugh.......I wonder how much this judge gets paid?!!
A judge trying an internet terror case stunned a court by admitting he did not know what a website was.
Judge Peter Openshaw brought a halt to the trial as a witness was being quizzed about an extremist web forum.
He told prosecutors at Woolwich Crown Court: "The trouble is I don't understand the language. I don't really understand what a website is."
Prosecutor Mark Ellison tried to help the judge by explaining. But Judge Openshaw, 59, admitted: "I haven't quite grasped the concepts."
Later he said he hoped a computer expert would give "simple" evidence when called to the stand.
Judge Openshaw said: "Will you ask him to keep it simple? We've got to start from basics." |
