A strike by barristers did not stop these killers, drink-drivers, thieves and sex offenders being put behind bars by crown court judges during September.
Those sentenced included a teenager who stabbed a 16-year-old to death in Wellingborough, a drink-driver who mowed down four innocent victims on a zebra crossing in Corby, and a 65-year-old who was caught with more than 82,000 sick pictures of children and animals stored on his laptop and USB sticks.
