How many people? I dont know. But there are 77 pages of Contempt of Court judgements on the judiciary website.
And I can think of a least one other case where the person was lifted, charged, appeared before the Judge, pleaded guilty and was sentenced (albeit not to a custodial) all in the same day. That was Yaxley-Lennon in 2017.
The judgement would have been published as soon as the jury returns its verdict in the instant case. It has to be pubished within 24 hours unless subject to a postponement order.

Not in this case.
His previous offence in Canterbury led to an early morning call from plod. Are uou suggesting the police should wait until morning before arresting people who have committed a crime?
I am aware of a number of cases where people have been immediately imprisoned for CoC. But probably they are not newsworthy enough for the papers to get very excited about.
And it wasnt as "slam dunk" as you may think. He even thanked his supporters for raising 20k to employ a top QC who kept him out of prison last time. He knew jolly well what was happening - this is why he was able to film his arrest on the last ocassion. Nothing stinks, he has broken the law and been dealt with accordingly.
Well, I have never heard of someone being on the streets of the UK and within hours in a jail serving a sentence not on remand but serving a sentence.
Take into account the police lies and that makes me suspicious, very suspicious.

Yeah. I see that. That seems - odd. I would like to hear how these cases are tried. It seems like it was over and done really, really quickly.
