'Big Showdown' in little John’s Hole! Magistrate & Prosecutor trade off!
During a court hearing earlier today, the Magistrate requested information from Ms Scatliffe regarding the defendant’s status with regard to bail and police custody. Things quickly became heated as a sharp exchange appeared to be brewing when Ms Scatliffe seemed to be debating the role of the Police in matters of bail and confinement with the Magistrate.
Magistrate Richards immediately chided the Senior Prosecutor and warned her not to argue with her. The discussions continued before Magistrate Richards again repeated her request, this time pointing to the court officers and saying, “You see these big officers here… they have somewhere they can take you.”
Meanwhile, Ms Scatliffe continued to robustly defend herself, refuting that she was in fact arguing with the Magistrate and raising her voice as she was accused of doing. She then offered a terse apology, but no one was prepared for what came next.
Magistrate Richards paused briefly and abruptly declared that the matter being heard would now be stood down and proceedings for the day adjourned indefinitely before leaving the courtroom to attend to matters at another court.

Some of you only glad for locals to rule so that you can get your own way. We are not really concern about our locals, we are more concern about our own damn selves and our selfish ways. I tend to agree with crisis because we do not support each other in this country. Everybody want to have their own way and that is the problem.
I haven't seen quick rush to judgement over the many times the "non-local" magistrate fumbled. When need to stop pick at the faults of others and look at the good they do.
..... BUT I ALMOST FORGOT THATS HOW EAST END PEOPLE ACT WHEN THEY GET A LITTLE POWER.....
Shame on you.
That is just what the new DPP teaching her. The two of them have the same mentality. This is not the first time we witnessed this behaviour from her. Help us, buddy.
I think it is a shame and very very disrespectful. Should have made an example of her and send her to cool her little heels in a cell. Locals want to see other locals move forward. Shame on you for not behaving like a professional and respecting the position of magistrate. What then do you expect of other who disrespect the law you should be upholding. You should be leading by example!!!
