Judge stuns murder trial by saying ‘all this talk of sex is making me horny’ after witnesses’ use of vulgar language

A JUDGE in Bermuda has faced criticism from the British Court of Appeal after telling a murder trial that talk of sex was making him "horny".

Smith-Williams was later convicted of the murder by a majority verdict, and in October was sentenced to at least 35 years in prison. Mr Justice Kay said: "In particular, his comment 'all this sex is beginning to get me horny' was inappropriate and inimical to the dignity of court proceedings."However, I do not believe that it damaged the defence or had the potential to undermine the safety of the conviction."Mr Lynch also raised other aspects of how Greaves had conducted himself during Mr Harris's testimony.
