They often do it though: court results are public record, so (particularly if it's a slow news day) local newspaper journalists with nothing to write about other than parking disputes and cats up trees sit in the courts and fill their pages with who's been convicted (or not) of what.

like being in court 60 miles away from your home town and having your name put up in the local rag a week later :rolleyes:

But I guess if you work on a Noddy local newspaper then you'll hunt for anything that has even vaguely local relevance, no matter how tenuous.

If it wasn't for the court system, local papers would be filled with nothing but articles about overgrown cypress leylandii, retiring headteachers and readers' letters pointing out grammatical errors in the previous edition. Somebody has to keep the Argus's newshounds in employment. Scanning the court papers is often the nearest they get to action...

I haven't always been an angel, but if you do very stupid things lots of times, it shouldn't come as a surprise if people think you are stupid (or you get nicked)
