Summary: Listen to the show here. This week, Lyndon looks at the case of Laura Cunliffe - imprisoned for 14 weeks for causing unnecessary suffering to a kitten. The case seemed to divide opinion on the blog and on Twitter between the animal lovers who thought 14 weeks was far too lenient, and those who thought the sentence was too high. The reason for the division in opinion? Ms Cunliffe's mental health difficulties. Does that reduce her culpability? Would a suspended sentence be better for all? But would a suspended sentence fail to mark the seriousness of the offence? Then, Kim discusses what it is like to be interviewed by the police. Kim used to be a detective in the Met police and latterly a police station rep, representing clients in the police station. She sets out the structure and highlights some issues which she has encountered throughout her time in the police station (on the other side of the desk!)
