Time Travel?
"Among the claimants was a woman identified only as P, who was charged with shoplifting a 99p book in August 1999. After failing to attend her appearance before a Magistrates' Court 18 days later, she was summarily convicted of a second offence under the Bail Act 1976.
In November 1990, she was given a conditional discharge in respect of both offences."
So, she was discharged 9 years before the offenses? Cool! ;-)
