Man Jailed for Taking Brother’s Picture in Newcastle Court
A man has been sentenced to jail time for taking a picture of his brother in a Newcastle court without permission.
The incident occurred during a hearing at the Newcastle District Court, where the man’s brother was appearing as a defendant in a criminal case.
The judge presiding over the case deemed the act of taking a picture inside the courtroom to be a violation of the court’s rules and a breach of privacy for the defendant.
In his ruling, the judge stated that such behavior disrupted the court proceedings and could potentially jeopardize the fair trial rights of the defendant.
The man was immediately taken into custody and sentenced to a brief period of time in jail for his actions.
