Summary: Listen to the show here. This week, Lyndon and Kim are in the ‘studio’ and roving reporter Dan is out and about. Kim introduces the changes to the Dangerous Dogs Act 1991 and discusses, amongst other things, why the offence was widened to include places which are not public places. Lyndon discusses a peculiar case from 2009 which is back in the news - a woman was sent prison for 6 months for protecting an abused dog. Confused? All becomes clear. Dan talks about Operation Cotton in the Court of Appeal and what the consequences might be for the criminal bar. Lyndon discusses the Max Clifford sentence and the problems around concurrent and consecutive sentences, touching on the potential problems created by the judge come the inevitable Court of Appeal hearing. Dan explains costs in criminal cases in light of the Huhne/Pryce costs judgment and explains that crime certainly doesn't pay - in any sense.
