A nice day at court(magistrates, not tennis)

Was it a judge or a magistrate?
Magistrates can only sentence to a maximum of 6 months in jail for an
offence. (Although they can go up to a year for multiple offences, I
think). If the sentence needs to be higher than that, they have to pass
the case (or just the sentencing part of it) up to the crown court.
