A Saudi judge postponed a trial after the cooling system stopped working, saying he could not issue a right sentence in such conditions.

“I decided to stop the trial and postpone it for another date because I cannot issue a right sentence when I am annoyed,” said the judge in the Eastern port of Dammam.

Quoted by Sada newspaper, he said sentences at courts could be influenced when the judge is angry or annoyed in such conditions as hot weather, hunger, thirst, pain, drowsiness, severe cold weather, illness and laziness.
