Mr Savage is a leading campaigner on legal aid. Judge Pat McIlhargey, presiding over the case, refused a double request from Mr Savage for a mistrial and for a different judge to handle it. After discussions with Mr Savage, the judge continued with the hearing and then ordered the sheriff to escort Mr Savage from the courtroom. The sheriff then arrested him and took him to the court’s holding cell.
