Beverley Johnson
Just when you think you’ve heard and seen it all… (shaking my head)
A “clinically obese” fraud suspect asked for her case to be postponed after complaining about the layout of an old fashioned courtroom.
Beverley Douglas, 43, claimed she could not climb the stairs to a narrow secure doorway into the dock of Court One at Inner London crown court to face 13 fraud charges.
She is accused of claiming thousands of pounds of state handouts while working as a bus driver and a CCTV officer.
As she sat outside the courtroom, Judge Roger Chapple agreed to adjourn the hearing so Douglas could appear in a more accessible dock at a later date.
Douglas, of Thornton Heath, faces 13 fraud charges between March 2004 and February 2009 relating to claims for income support from the Department of Work and Pensions, and housing and council tax benefit from Croydon council.
She was released on bail until July 7.
