  1. With most people having their own mobiles I would not thing they would have found much in that box.

  2. Male is locked up and female released on bail both charged the same. Why do the judges always go lenient on the women? They both should be in custody whilst awaiting trial if we can say it is an equal society.

    • Always have wondered this. It happens far too often when it would appear that both are similarly culpable. Equal society?, seems not.

      • I think he was remanded in custody as he was already on bail for other crimes. Whilst I doubt this was her first offence, she has obviously got away with it so far.
