A woman who caused a ruckus during a trial in a district court in 2021, and spat at police officers who arrested her a year later, was on Friday given five weeks’ jail for insulting a judge.
This is in addition to an eight-week jail sentence meted out on July 25, over the spitting incident and repeatedly failing to obey orders from the authorities even though she was legally bound to do so.
The Singaporean woman, who used to be known as Lee Hui Yin, had attended the 2021 trial of Briton Benjamin Glynn, who had been caught not wearing a mask in public amid the Covid-19 pandemic. She was seated in the gallery with at least 18 other people in the midst of his trial when a security officer told her to put her mask on properly, as it was slightly below her nose.
She also shouted at the security officer and refused to leave the courtroom, but was escorted out around 10 minutes later.
