A SALISBURY judge who has presided over murder trials, sat on the court of appeal and even been mistakenly called up for jury service has hung up his wig and gown after more than two decades. Judge Keith Cutler CBE has enjoyed a law career spanning nearly 50 years and officially retired earlier this month. The Recorder of Winchester had been due to retire on his 70th birthday last August but due to the Covid-19 pandemic was asked to stay on. He was called to the Bar in 1972 and worked as a barrister in London. He became a circuit judge in 1996 and was later appointed as the resident judge for Salisbury in 2003 before the two courts amalgamated.
