- Crown Court
Yes, I remember it very well and whilst it included some rather bizarre and unlikely cases; it is procedure was correct. I was only 9 or 10 at the time and watched on some of the days that I was off school, either in the holidays or if I was not feeling well ( I am epileptic) and it was probably this drama which got me interested in Law generally, although I now deal with commercial litigation, in particular debt recovery and breach of contract. I am now 50 and still work in Credit Management some of the work is related directly to litigation, although in the Civil Courts, not a Criminal one potrayed here. However, I have been in Crown Court to give evidence in connection with a fraud which had been committed against my employer. I have also sat on a Jury. So really this programme primed me for the line of business I have now worked in since I was 20. OK some of the cases were a bit far fetched (the peanuts episode being one), but equally the procedure was correct and certainly gave me an insight what it was like to be witness when some 25 years later I was indeed required to give evidence in a Criminal Case relating to false accounting and demanding money with menaces. Great programme for its day.
