...during sentencing this week, District Judge Stephen Apted found himself pausing proceedings and telling the couple off for laughing as a summary of their offending was read out in court.
He said he could not understand why the couple found their court appearance amusing and were seen laughing and shaking their heads.
'You fail to understand and appreciate how appalling and disgraceful your behaviour was,' he told them, The Telegraph reported.
Because they are receiving no proper punishment for it. At leaset we have the 'Mail' to tell us how much their house is worth, though:
The couple - who live in a house worth more than £800,000 just a mile from the pub - faced charges of racially or religiously aggravated harassment and assault, which they denied, claiming self defence.
A likely story.
Mr Sayer was handed a fine of £1,204, while Mrs Sayer was fined £1,554. The couple must also complete 15 sessions of rehabilitation activities and 150 hours of unpaid work.
Pathetic. No wonder they weren't cowed by the awesome majesty of the justice system...
Alphonsus Doran, Mrs Sayer’s defence lawyer, said the couple had been 'effectively ostracised' since the incident. Mrs Sayer has lost her job, while Mr Sayer reported a 'massive impact' on his business.
Good. Maybe that will teach them the lesson they deserve.
