Weekend court roll – our round-up of the most-read cases of the week

Our reporters have sat in courtrooms in the northeast this week handling a variety of cases – from the gambling addict who turned to crime to pay off his sprawling debts, to a trio of sexual deviants who, with two Shetland Islands, do some disgusting Things did ponies.

Gambling addict jailed for £ 223,000 worth of fraud

On Monday, a gambling addict who committed a “spectacular breach of trust” by embezzling more than £ 220,000 from one of Scotland’s largest law firms, was jailed.

Paralegal trainee Callum Scott admitted that he cheated £ 223,000 off his employer, Aberdein Considine, to pay off a series of payday loans that were used to quench his crippling addiction.

Callum Scott

Aberdeen Sheriff Court heard Scott, 23, “stole from Peter to pay Paul” during the four month scam.

Man started fire to scare ex-girlfriend

However, jail wasn’t the final outcome for Jordan Stewart.

Aberdeen Sheriff Court heard Stewart start a fire in front of his ex-girlfriend’s house to scare her, “then laugh sadistically,” but he’s now given the opportunity to prove he’s a better person.

Jordan Stewart.

Stewart waged a six-month terror campaign against the woman, including setting garbage bags on fire in front of her home and taking a crowbar to a closet in her property.

The 24-year-old also picked up a Stanley knife and slapped a door with it repeatedly when he made derogatory remarks at her home in mid-2020.

Supermarket clerk attacked in the aisles

A woman who assaulted a supermarket worker in the aisles in Aberdeen was found holding a knife when police showed up.

The crimes took place in Lidl’s Hutcheon Street. Portlethen woman Natalie Jenkins was caught in a separate incident with cocaine in her car – and another knife – in her car over the weekend, the Aberdeen Sheriff Court was told today.

The crimes took place in Lidl’s Hutcheon Street

Jenkins admitted carrying a knife to Lidl’s Hutcheon Street store earlier this month and attacking an employee there.

Man mugged for two cans of beer and a ten

On TuesdayA man returning from a supermarket visit was viciously ambushed – a crime his attacker could not remember.

Charles Sim pounced on the 62-year-old in the early evening of June 18 last year and made off with two cans of beer and a ten.

Aberdeen Sheriff Court heard Sim, 38, knock the man to the ground, repeatedly kick him in the body, hit him in the head, and repeatedly threaten to stab him unless he handed over his cell phone.

Rammy Prison Cell extends the sentence

An inmate at HMP Grampian was held behind bars for an additional 12 months on Tuesday after a killing spree in a cell in which he threatened to pour boiling water over prison officials.

Dale Davidson also tore apart the shower in his cell before sanding part of the door to make a makeshift gun, Aberdeen Sheriff Court heard.

Dale Davidson, inset, committed the crimes at HMP Grampian in Peterhead.

When brave staff arrived at Peterhead Prison to calm the situation down, they were greeted by the angry inmate who waved the shower door like a battering ram and threatened to stab anyone who set foot in his cell.

Separation triggered abusive phone calls

On Tuesday, Louise Fraser also appeared before the Aberdeen Sheriff Court, who “bombarded” her former lover with insulting messages and phone calls for several months.

The court was told that Fraser’s angry reaction to the relationship breakdown in July 2019 sparked numerous phone calls to her ex-girlfriend.

Louise Fraser outside the Aberdeen Sheriff Court.

She also repeatedly sent text messages, online messages, and emails over a six-month period – which resulted in the woman banning the 27-year-old from her social media channels.

It culminated in Fraser leaving threatening voicemails, behaving aggressively, and refusing to leave the woman’s home address.

Son fights for diving compensation

The widow and nine-year-old son of a tragic diver returned to court to sue the boat company hired for the fateful voyage.

Lex Warner, 50, died after leaving MV Jean Elaine while diving off the Sutherland coast in 2012.

Lex Warner with his wife Debbie and son Vincent

Mr Warner’s widow, Debbie, is suing Orkney’s Scapa Flow Charters in a £ 500,000 lawsuit on behalf of her nine-year-old son Vincent.

The pair were in the Edinburgh Court of Session on Tuesday to hear the opening evidence in the case.

The Racist Insult to the Nursing Home Worker

A homeworker in Aberdeenshire who was fired for racially insulting a colleague was fined Wednesday.

Aberdeen Sheriff Court heard Victoria Costello, 26, get into a heated argument with an employee of the Havencourt Nursing Home in Stonehaven in May 2019, verbally abusing him with a racist slur.

Victoria Costello leaves Aberdeen Sheriff Court. Aberdeen.

The dispute was sparked by a disagreement about the correct furnishing of a resident’s room.

During a staff meeting two days later, the maintenance technician highlighted the problem and later followed Costello into a lounge area to discuss the problem, standing up, berating the Nigerian citizen and uttering the racist term.

“She was a pretty hard worker, I’ll give her that”

The manager of a pub in Aberdeen praised the persistence of a female robber who had spent more than 30 minutes breaking her way into the building to snatch bottles of alcohol.

Jill Wiggins used items she found in the back of the Three Lums Pub – including a beer keg and a frying pan – to try to break a window.

The three lums on Lewis Road.

The 42-year-old was caught by CCTV in the morning alcohol raid, but had long since disappeared by the time the officers arrived at the scene.

However, Wiggins – who also goes by the surname Smith or Knox – was caught quickly after calling 999 herself to ask for help just hours later.

Biker driving alcohol had a passenger on his back

A teenager who rode his motorcycle more than double the legal limit with a passenger on his back was banned from the street and warned a “may not be enough” fine.

Caleb Stewart had been drinking at a house party and only had a makeshift driver’s license when he sped his bike through Aberchirder with a passenger on his back.

Caleb Stewart

Finance deputy Ellen Barr told Banff Sheriff Court that police discovered Stewart’s motorcycle around 11 p.m. on May 15 after neighbors complained about the way it was driving.

Woman spat on police officers when she told them: “I have Covid”

On Thursday, Aberdeen Sheriff Court heard a 23-year-old woman who claimed to have Covid-19 spat at police officers and threatened to infect them.

Hadlae-Beth Taylor was picked up by police after a breach of the peace in Ellons Ythan Place at the height of the global pandemic in June 2020.

Hadlae Beth Taylor leaves Aberdeen Sheriff Court.

On her way to custody, she announced she had Covid-19 symptoms before repeatedly stepping into the interior of the police vehicle and spat and threatened to infect officials with the virus.

Nursing student cried after a car accident while she was over the limit

A young nursing student was fined and banned after crashing into four different cars while driving while under the influence of alcohol.

Megan Clark, 18, of Boddam, was more than double the alcohol limit when she plowed into vehicles in Roseangle, Dundee, in April.

Dents and scratches were caused on a Peugeot 208, Citreon C1, Kia Picanto and Volkswagen Golf.

Drunk Clark was confronted with witnesses who were concerned about her driving and initially denied causing the damage.

Then she burst into tears and said she was going to visit her boyfriend.

Drinks driver turned the car on the city street

A woman who rolled her car more than five times the alcohol limit has been banned from the streets for more than two years.

Rosemary Bennett was behind the wheel of Aberdeen’s Argyle Place early in the morning when she collided with a parked car and threw hers on the roof.

Aberdeen Sherriff Court heard the 29-year-old being found by a delivery driver who discovered the wreck and called the police and an ambulance.

Bennett was then escorted to the Kittybrewster Detention Center, where she read 117 micrograms of alcohol in 100 milliliters of breath. The limit is only 22 micrograms.

Teacher detained for sexual activity with students

On Friday, a school teacher was sentenced to 15 months in prison after engaging in sexual acts with two students.

Kieran Malcolmson was convicted of two charges after a trial in the Aberdeen Sheriff Court last month.

A distant jury found the majority of the 36-year-olds guilty of being in a position of trust as a teacher and of having directed sexual activities other than sexual intercourse with or against a student in 2009.

He kissed and had sexual activities with the girl while he was employed as a teacher at a school in Shetland.

Benefits Cheat had £ 100,000 in their bank account

A scammer who received nearly £ 35,000 in benefits while banked over £ 100,000 was told she was lucky not to be in jail.

Lorraine Mearns demanded thousands of pounds in taxpayers’ money by lying to officials about how much money she had in the bank over six years.

Between January 2012 and April 2018, Mearns knowingly misrepresented her income to the Department of Labor and Pensions in order to claim £ 13,368 in employment and benefit allowances that she was not entitled to.

She requested an additional £ 19,960 in housing and council tax breaks between November 2012 and March 2018 by doing the same to Aberdeen City Council.

Even her own lawyer said her claim that the fraud was accidental was “ridiculous”.

Sexual deviants had sex with Shetland ponies

A sexual deviator was jailed after having sex with a Shetland pony while his buddy evaded jail for being a teenager at the time.

Jordan Turnbull (28) and Joshua Lee-Paterson (20) each admitted to having an “unnatural connection” to different horses on the Cothal Farm in Fintray.

Jordan Turnbull, Mark Findlater, and Joshua Lee-Paterson

Turnbull’s crime was committed between October and December 2018, while Lee-Paterson committed bestiality between October and November of the same year.

A third man, Mark Findlater, admitted to being charged with distributing “obscene material” about his co-defendants “sexual activity with horses” and was imprisoned for 13 months and two weeks.

The 34-year-old posted the disgusting pictures to a number of addresses in Dyce and elsewhere, and even to The Press and Journal.

Which Podcasts Should Web Designers And Developers Be Listening To?

Ricky Onsman

2018-04-18T13:45:00+02:002018-04-18T11:56:08+00:00

We asked the Smashing community what podcasts they listened to, aiming to compile a shortlist of current podcasts for web designers and developers. We had what can only be called a very strong response — both in number and in passion.

First, we winnowed out the podcasts that were on a broader theme (e.g. creativity, mentoring, leadership), on a narrower theme (e.g. on one specific WordPress theme) or on a completely different theme (e.g. car maintenance — I’m sure it was well-intentioned).

When we filtered out those that had produced no new content in the last three months or more (although then we did have to make some exceptions, as you’ll see), and ordered the rest according to how many times they were nominated, we had a graded shortlist of 55.

Agreed, that’s not a very short shortlist.

So, we broke it down into five more reasonably sized shortlists:

Podcasts for web developers

Podcasts for web designers

Podcasts on the web, the Internet and technology

Business podcasts for web professionals

Podcasts that don’t have recent episodes (but do have great archives)

Obviously, it’s highly unlikely anyone could — or would want to — listen to every episode of every one of these podcasts. Still, we’re pretty sure that any web designer or developer will find a few podcasts in this lot that will suit their particular listening tastes.

Getting workflow just right ain't an easy task. So are proper estimates. Or alignment among different departments. That's why we've set up 'this-is-how-I-work'-sessions — with smart cookies sharing what works well for them. A part of the Smashing Membership, of course.

Explore features →

A couple of caveats before we begin:

We don’t claim to be comprehensive. These lists are drawn from suggestions from readers (not all of which were included) plus our own recommendations.

The descriptions are drawn from reader comments, summaries provided by the podcast provider and our own comments. Podcast running times and frequency are, by and large, approximate. The reality is podcasts tend to vary in length, and rarely stick to their stated schedule.

We’ve listed each podcast once only, even though several could qualify for more than one list.

We’ve excluded most videocasts. This is just for listening (videos probably deserve their own article).
