The most unlikely of bedfellows, crack cocaine and judges
Our picture of the week was kindly supplied by barrister James Dove. It features two advertisements spotted in London.
!["What's the crack!" about becoming a judge?](https://www.thesteepletimes.com//wp-content/uploads/2020/01/Can-you-crack-it-1.jpg)
The first is for a “crack group” and the second asks have you “ever thought about becoming a judge?”
Someone was most definitely “cracking a joke” by putting the two posters side by side. Call in Judge Judy.
Cherie Blair known professionally as Cherie Booth QC allowed a cocaine smuggler to walk free from court.
Sitting as a Crown Court judge, she gave drug dealer Lee Williams a suspended sentence even though he had a kilogram of cocaine worth £145,600.
Cherie Blair was not cracking a joke, she was dead serious.
Who said they are unlikely bedfellows? Judge for yourself.
