Idiot Judge Alert!

“You used his card to steal £2,000, although you didn’t need the money at the time.”
Presumably, if Tembo had needed the money, it would have been ok..?

Oh look! The religion gets you out of jail free card gets played again:

"Imposing the sentence Judge Anthony Goldstaub told him: “You know you behaved disgracefully, but you’re ashamed for what you did and found comfort in religion and the church."

No wonder so many "find" relgion at times of crisis, like being nicked ...

So 'benefit of clergy' still very much in vogue then for the good Presbyterians amongst us?

I think another interpretation of 'suspended sentence' might be more appropriate for those who betray such trust.

Coetzee, Tembo. Am I alone in seeing a pattern to this?

@ BfD.

Xenophobic card players will be along presently, should we fail to maintain a pretence that Coetzee, Tembo and Goldstaub are names of no particular spelling.

Amazing, isn't it? That this works in 2010.

It must give Dawkins acid reflux every time he reads one of these cases....

"Coetzee, Tembo. Am I alone in seeing a pattern to this?"

You might say that. I couldn't possibly comment... ;)
