Barrister Accused of Court Contempt | Bristol News

Barrister Rajiv Menon KC is facing serious contempt of court charges after allegedly trying to sway a jury during a high-profile trial involving Palestine Action protesters. Accused of suggesting the judge was biased and implying jurors couldn’t be forced to convict, Menon claims he was simply defending his client—Charlotte Head, who received a five-year sentence after retrial. The original judge referred the case to Justice Nicklin, who found enough evidence to proceed, citing public interest. Menon is set to appear at the Royal Courts of Justice on July 28th, caught in the tense balancing act between zealous advocacy and courtroom decorum.
