"The teenagers’ lawyers suggested district judge David Cooper might show them some Christian forgiveness" ..
The Lawyer was rather pushing his professional luck .. for all he knew, the District Judge could have been of the Jewish persuasion & taken offence at such sentiment ..
From this report it would be safe to assume District Judge Cooper uses common sense to make his judgements. His parting comment to the street preacher about picking some other sins for a while was worthy of a world-weary Rumpolian judge.

Yes, as the judge's name was "David Kupranovic" I would have guessed Jewish as well.
ReplyDeleteThe judge could have been a muslim convert and advocate of sharia law. They'd have been right in the shit then...

Mmm, I'd have been tempted to raise an eyebrow and remark 'You mean an eye for an eye?' too :)
