An academic made a neighbour's life a "misery" in a feud that started when the victim allegedly played Frank Sinatra records too loudly. Now Dr Elizabeth Hall, 76, who bombarded the victim with emails and ignored court orders to desist, has been sent to prison.
The wheelchair user even told a judge she would turn up to face her sentencing when she felt like it and not when the court told her to. Hall was due to be sentenced last Friday for twice breaching restraining orders but wrote to a judge stating she would come when it suited her.
That cut no ice with Judge Roderick Henderson, so she was arrested and finally appeared at Birmingham Crown Court via video link from a police station, it was reported on the Birmingham Live website.
