Can't remember if it was here or somewhere else that this was discussed at the time of its initial reporting.

Listening to music when you're supposed to be paying attention to evidence in a murder trial... if that ain't contempt of court then what the hell is?

Bet the outcome would have been different if she was a white Christian.

Wait untill there is an appeal over her dismisal, on the basis that it caused a miscariage of justice!

Let's hope she gets at least a few token days in the slammer and a hefty fine.

That Dailymail article is a month older then the BBC article so she got off free. She was doing those things for the express purpose of getting thrown. It's probably as STEED said.

It has to be proven first, from what I read there was insufficient evidence. If she was doing it then it's bad and she should be prosecuted.

What's the point in that comment mate, is it to be funny or to stir up a racial argument?
