Life for throwing a slipper in court
 

*In cartman voice*
You WILL respect my authority!!! :thumb:

An Indian judge has sentenced a robber to a life sentence in jail for hurling a slipper at him.

Judge Gongale was quick to duck when Rajkumar Sharma threw his slipper at him.
The 19-year-old appeared before the judge in Mumbai on a charge of robbing an auto rickshaw driver of £5. Senior lawyer Mahesh Jethmalani said: "The punishment is excessive but the accused's conduct is unpardonable."

Possibly excessive, but it sends the right message to the criminals, A) even if you steal £5, you will get charged and b) you show disrepect you get punished further.
The UK should have more judges like this !

Did it have a bomb in the heel?

What does contempt of court get over here? 5 yrs?

life in jail with only one slipper :lol1:

if he didnt have odour eaters in them he should have got the chair....

The message it REALLY sends out is: Steal £5 then kill the witness as you'll get life anyway but a chance that no-one knows who committed the crime.
