My Hard News - Magistrates Court Case

For our radio news cast, each of us had to go out and look for local news and do either a vox pop, outside broadcast or an interview on the event. 


Outside of the court.
I went to Magistrates court and witnessed a case where the judge had to decide whether a 19 year old would be granted bail or not after being charged of assault and battery. This guy decided its alright for him to swing at an innocent man after saying "Get out of my way before I f****** punch you!!" then straight after that he hit a WOMAN!! As you may have already realised he most definitely did not get bail even though he argued that the court have the wrong person! 

This story has a negative impact on the audience as it warns people about these situations and the outcome it may have. 
To make this story my own I have done an outside broadcast in front of the magistrates court and i also interviewed a woman who also witnessed this case with me in the public gallery to get her opinion on the case.

This story is relevant to teenagers as the boy trialed in cour was a teenager so it becomes a warning for the younger people as actions have consequences.
