Guest bostonaire Posted January 3, 2005 Share Posted January 3, 2005 i remember judge pickles, but being a law abiding citizen myself, not for the wrong reasons. He was harsh sometimes with the lesser crimes, though i feel crime is crime and one takes the risk when breaking any law. Wasnt he the one who jailed the pregnant woman? We need more like him i feel..... Just found this "Judge Pickles was controversial judge of the 1980's and 1990's who suggested that young women might become pregnant between arrest and sentencing to avoid a prison sentence." http://websites.ntl.com/~wellclge/depts/history/politics/judicial/9jud.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plain Talker Posted January 3, 2005 Share Posted January 3, 2005 "hanging" Judge Pickles was what he was known as 20/ 30 yrs ago. He was reknowned for the severity of the sentencing he handed out, Part of me feels that if more judges had been as "keen" as him, then maybe criminals would have been dissuaded from going back into crime... Just as an aside, I understand that Carolyn Pickles, the actress who played Alan Turner's recently vanished "love interest" in Emmerdale is Judge Pickles' daughter. Judge Pickles' uncle was the old-time radio and TV star, Wilfred Pickles. PT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WallBuilder Posted January 3, 2005 Share Posted January 3, 2005 I had a friend who had at that point spent more than half his life behind bars and he was sentenced by Judge Pickles on two occasions. The judge recognised him the second time and so wasn't even slightly lenient with the sentencing, he also warned my friend that if he ever saw him in front of him again he would make him wish he'd never been born or words to that effect.

Strix Posted January 3, 2005 Share Posted January 3, 2005 Originally posted by nitelife40 cant see any judge not sentencing for rape .....there musta been more to it than that That's why he hit the news over it. Investigation revealed other similar cases in his court and his 'extra carricular activities'. His perversions explained his attitude. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strix Posted January 3, 2005 Share Posted January 3, 2005 Judge Pickles, who retired 2 years ago after 42 years service was scathing: “To require a judge to be lectured to by black people in his own country is not something I approve of…’ He also charged that watchdogs like the CRE were ‘packed with blacks who are incapable of being objective. Black people complain too much about racism… [i say to them] If you don’t like this country, go and live somewhere else’… there is no doubt that serious crimes are committed in particular by Afro-Caribbeans who in some cases are suffering from mental instability in this country.” was found on this page Nice person - NOT his book and well done Claire Short - She demanded the sacking, in 1988, of Judge James Pickles for jailing a woman who was too frightened to give evidence against a man who beat her. quoted from here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
