A Christchurch District Court judge has jailed a man for seven days for calling the judge a faggot. Judge Stephen Erber said Damien Keen's comment, made as Keen was being taken down to the cells, was a "flagrant and direct insult" and was delivered in a contemptuous manner. The Christchurch District Court has declined to make any further comment on the matter. Ref: NZ Herald (d)
