Every week, London’s Courts take in the dregs of an increasingly unhinged city. Every week, they dispense justice - as London’s court Reporters watch on from the press gallery.
Court reporters are witnesses to the front lines of modern crime. From the bleak to the bizarre. The tawdry to the tragic.
Old Bailey Weekly is the show that lets you hear what the court reporter saw. Straight from the mouths of those who were there.

This week in court:
***
A Somali killer was jailed for at least 32 years for knifing a woman to death two days after slashing three other strangers’ faces.
Mohamed Nur, 35, grabbed 31-year-old Johanita Dogbey and stabbed her three times in the neck in a random attack near Brixton’s O2 academy in south London on 1 May last year.
Nur refused to attend his sentencing, saying there was ‘no point’ coming and the judge said rare proceedings would begin to punish him for the ‘clear contempt’ shown.
But Court News UK's Guy Toyn says that it's wrong to force prisoners to attend court.
***
Two ‘fixers’ for a people smuggling ring that flew Albanians into the UK in a light aircraft have been jailed for a total of over five years. Former Italian restaurant owner Myrteza Hilaj, 50, who came to the UK in the 1990s, acted as a travel agent and ‘go-to man’ for fellow countrymen desperate to get into the country
Court reporter Tom Masters was covering the sentencing, and can reveal that this was a deluxe end-to-end travel agency, charging £10 000 per seat. They were caught with over 3000 forged passports.
