Judge Says Keep it Simple, Stupid
ANANOVA reports that a judge trying an internet terror case stunned a
court by admitting he did not know what a website was.
Judge Peter Openshaw brought a halt to the trial as a witness was
being quizzed about an extremist web forum.
He told prosecutors at Woolwich Crown Court: "The trouble is I don't
understand the language. I don't really understand what a website is."
Prosecutor Mark Ellison tried to help the judge by explaining, but
Judge Openshaw, 59, admitted: "I haven't quite grasped the concepts."
Later he said he hoped a computer expert would give "simple" evidence
when called to the stand.
Judge Openshaw said: "Will you ask him to keep it simple? We've got
to start from basics."
