Today we heard about two very different people who seem to have taken the law into their own hands but with very contrasting results!
First off came news of the man who went to Canterbury Court to testify on behalf of his pal only to end up being jailed himself. In an effort to convince his wife that he was in court he inadvisedly took a photo of his friend in the dock as well as a “selfie”. Taking photographs in court is, of course, highly illegal and he ended up paying the penalty.
In the second hour of the show, Margaret Mills took us back to the time of the English Civil War when for 3 years between 1644 and 1647, MATTHEW HOPKINS, who proclaimed himself WITCHFINDER GENERAL, stalked areas of ESSEX, SUFFOLK and NORFOLK, and together with his associates was responsible for more hangings of people accused of witchcraft than in the previous 100 years.
