 :::::The latest news report I can find is from March this year. "" Sheriff Hammond warned him: “Be quiet, and don’t talk gibberish in this court” adding: “Stop speaking rubbish and just sit quietly.” But the interruptions continued. At one stage, the clearly exasperated sheriff told Macrae, who is conducting his own defence, that he would have him removed to the cells and hold the trial in his absence."" This took place at a Sheriff court. Reading the article I see at least one English case where someone was sentenced for contempt of court and a Welsh case as well. It's quite possible, even likely, that there were ""threats"" of contempt of court"" that never reached the media.   "
