Complaints have been made against a judge who called a racist thug "a bit of a c***."
Judge Patricia Lynch QC made the remark when sentencing John Hennigan at Chelmsford Crown Court for his ninth breach of an anti-social behaviour order in 11 years after racially abusing a Caribbean mother.
The 50 year-old criminal was in the dock when he told the judge she was "a bit of a c***".
Judge Lynch responded with: "You are a bit of a c*** yourself. Being offensive to me doesn't help."
Mr Hennigan then told the judge: "Go f*** yourself", to which she replied: "You too."
The Judicial Conduct Investigations (JCIO) office, which handles complaints made about judges both inside and outside court, has confirmed that complaints have been made about Judge Lynch,
I wonder if his sentence was increased ?
