Distressed family in court as coat theft case ends in mercy
Indictment against Mary Willingham reveals a tale of poverty and sacrifice. The judge, moved by the prisoners plight, releases her after a brief sentence and sends money to the suffering family. The report also covers other petty crimes in the same term, including a young thief’s case and a dog ownership dispute at the lord mayor's court.
