"Unfortunately, if understandably, Marson acted too hastily. "

I'm not sure it is THAT understandable. Surely one of the most famous cases is that of Balogh? The bored clerk who was caught trying to release laughing gas in Court and whom the judge sentenced to a week downstairs after the estimable Mr B accused him of being an humourless automaton? The ultimate outcome being that judges should be very, very, very careful when sentencing summarily?

It is such a famous case that Marson ought to have had it at the forefront. It smacked a bit of virtue-signalling...
