'Troubling' criminal delays sentencing by refusing to get into court van
A NEAR 7ft prisoner forced the postponement of his case after refusing to get in the van that was bringing him to court.
6ft 10ins Ivo Liparts was due to be sentenced last month for breaching a restraining order – but a judge was forced to adjourn the hearing after the former Latvian bodyguard declined to get on board the G4S truck that was taking him to Lincoln Crown Court.
Liparts finally appeared in the dock on Thursday after Judge Michael Heath agreed to a request from G4S to list him on a day when the court cells were quiet.
Liparts, 37, dwarfed a 5ft 6ins female security officer as he was escorted into the court after being transported in a van from Lincoln Prison.
But Judge Heath was forced to postpone the case a second time after receiving intelligence that Liparts was sentenced to seven years custody in his native Latvia in 2005 – despite a criminal record check showing no previous convictions in his home country.
A NEAR 7ft prisoner forced the postponement of his case after refusing to get in the van that was bringing him to court.
I don't care how big he is if he has to go in front of the judge cuffed, leg strapped, still stinging from pepper spray or with taser barbs in his chest then they should go on time, he wouldn't mess about with stupid games if that occured."all that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing" Edmund Burke.

That would not have set well with me. He would have appeared.

Here it wouldn't be a question of if he was getting in the van it would be an option of how he was getting in the van. A taser would be a nice choice

"It's a great life. You risk your skin catching killers and the juries turn them loose so they can come back and shoot at you again. If your honest , your poor your whole life. And , In the end , you wind up dying all alone on some dirty street. For what? For nothing. For a tin star."
Far from being a handicap to command, compassion is the measure of it. For unless one values the lives of his soldiers and is tormented by their ordeals , he is unfit to command.

"Sir, I'm going to ask you to get in the van, then I'm going to tell you to get in the van, then I'll make you get in the van. Your choice on how soon you will get in the van."
