Roger Connor (judge)

Roger David Connor DL (born 8 June 1939) is a British judge.

He attended Merchant Taylors' School in London, before studying at Brunel College of Advanced Science and Technology.

[1] During his time as a judge, he was once suspended from a case for laughing during the speech of a defence counsel.

Connor described these orders as "wonderful when they work", although they could only really be used "when the defendant is sufficiently motivated".

Connor also expressed disagreement with judges who sentence mental health sufferers to prison terms, which he called a "disgrace".
