The Honourable Mr Justice Pepperpall, Sentenced Two Leicestershire Drug Dealers at Oakham Castle Court, Oakham Rutland, A Student from the University of Leicester, it was the other mans 28th Birthday.

The Honourable Mr Justice Pepperpall, Sentenced Two Leicestershire Drug Dealers at Oakham Castle Court, Oakham Rutland, A Student from the University of Leicester, it was the other mans 28th Birthday.

The Honourable Mr Justice Pepperpall sentenced two Leicestershire drug dealers at Oakham Castle Court on Friday, October 6, 2023.

The judge also set a date for a trial for Tyler Wright.

He sentenced Leicester University student Jay Shah to an 80-hour community order for dealing drugs. It was accepted that Shah was a low-level dealer and sold drugs to fund his own habit. £600 that was found after his arrest was forfeited and drugs and a mobile phone were confiscated and the judge ordered their destruction.

Callum Noon, (whose 28th birthday was today) the second drug dealer, was handed two custodial sentences, suspended for 12 months. His drugs, mobile phone, scales, and a knife were confiscated and the judge ordered those items should be destroyed. Noon received a 6-month suspended sentence for carrying a blade in a public place, although it was accepted that Noon did not realise the small knife attached to a key ring would be illegal for him to carry in his rucksack. The judge pointed out that ignorance of the law is no excuse, and that the law is clear that no bladed article can be carried in public.

Before the court session at Oakham Castle, on Friday, October 6th, 2023, the High Sheriff of Rutland, Geraldine Feehally, hosted a Justice Service for the County of Rutland at All Saints' Church in Oakham. The Justice Service is a traditional service of prayer and thanksgiving for all who have the responsibility of administering justice, ensuring safety and security, and promoting peaceful communities. Before the service, at 9:45 am, a procession from Oakham Castle included members of the judiciary, military, civic High Sheriff's, and other local officials walked to the church, where they were welcomed by a brass fanfare. The service was led by the Reverend Stephen Griffiths, Team Rector of Oakham. The Justice Service is an important event in Rutland, held every two years.


Oakham Castle has been used as a court of law since at least 1229, and is the longest-running seat of justice in England. In 1264, the Great Hall was damaged by fire during the Second Baron's War. However, it was repaired and continued to be used as a court of law.

In the 16th century, Oakham Castle became the seat of the Justices of the Peace for Rutland. The Justices held their regular court sessions in the hall, and also used it for other administrative purposes. Today, Oakham Castle is still used as a Crown Court once every two years. It is also a popular tourist attraction, and is open to the public for visits. In addition to its legal use, Oakham Castle has also been used for a variety of other purposes over the centuries. It has been used as a banqueting hall, a meeting place for the local government, and even a prison and a place to get married. Oakham Castle is an important part of the history of Oakham and Rutland. It is a beautiful and historic building that has played a significant role in the life of the community for centuries.
