Incorrigible Rogue: Part 1 Crown Court : Season 5 Episode 33

James William Kent is charged with assaulting two police officers. They say he punched and kicked them after they arrested him for trying the handles of parked vehicles. Kent denies the offences. He was convicted a few years earlier of being an "incorrigible rogue" - a persistent vagrant - and says that as a result the police are prejudiced against him and that the law gives him little chance of escaping conviction. He admits a long criminal record but says he has no previous convictions of violence, is arthritic and would never have struck the officers. He says his life has been turned around since joining a hostel run by Mr. Livingstone and that his criminal days are behind him.
