There Will Always Be an England

Robbery victim too honest ... so judge halts trial | News: "THE case against a man accused of robbing a woman in a terrifying gang attack was thrown out of court because his victim was deemed to be 'too believable' in the witness box.

Judge Jamie Tabor, QC, praised driving instructor Denise Dawson, 36, for being 'honest, utterly decent and brave' in giving evidence against 20-year-old Liam Perks.

But he stopped the trial on the grounds that her good character would unfairly sway the jury against the defendant, a self-confessed burglar."
