Francis Hume

Francis Hume was the judge who presided over Ste Hay's trial for the murder of Amy Barnes in September 2017. On the first day of the trial, Ste faked chest pains and the judge adjourned the trial as Ste was checked over in hospital. Judge Hume was left irritated when James Nightingale refused to object to prosecution barrister Janet Garner for leading witness Tony Hutchinson during questioning, but silenced Harry Thompson when he unleashed an outburst over the matter. At the end of the trial, the jury returned a verdict of "not guilty", so the judge had Ste released from custody.
