Officials have blamed a testing error after a string of cartoon and movie characters, including Tinker Bell and Captain Hook, were listed as defendants at a Crown Court.

Initial lists issued on behalf of Stoke-on-Trent Crown Court suggested Bugs Bunny, Road Runner, Buzz Lightyear and Sleeping Beauty were due for mention hearings on Thursday.

Disney favorites Mickey Mouse, Minnie Mouse and Donald Duck were also listed as being due before a judge from 10am.

Social media posts from lawyers and court watchers speculated that the names had been posted due to a testing error or as a joke by an outgoing member of staff.

Real-life defendants also featured in the daily list, including some appearing by video-link from prison.

Twitter was having a field day.



HM Courts and Tribunals Service confirmed on Wednesday night that the error was due to the characters being inputted to test an upgraded listing system.

“Sorry for the error – we've been testing a new upgrade to our case management system and the names were created as test cases but should have been deleted before the lists were issued/published," The service said in a tweet.

“Our local team has updated the final list online, removing the test names/cases."

It's too bad. We just know Mickey Mouse would charm any judge.

TikToker Confronts Stranger Who Allegedly Stopped His Car To Follow Her—And Women Are Nodding Hard

Though skeptics might argue that women can safely walk around and enjoy life without a care in the world, one woman shared a video of how often that isn't true.

Originally posted on TikToker @user4934997299767's account, the woman recorded herself walking outside on a sidewalk in a wide open area, allegedly right after a man had driven past her and noticed her. He'd then made a U-turn and pulled his car over so that he could get out and follow her.

OpenAI CEO Ripped After Suggesting Tip For Using ChatGPT To Help Parent Your Kids—And It's So Bleak

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman is desperate to push his highly unpopular product, going on talk shows to gush about its benefits and making suggestions online for how everyone can use ChatGPT in their daily lives. The tech billionaire tries hard to sell the public on AI, but his recent assertion that parents should use it to avoid speaking with their kids didn't land well.

On Friday, Altman tried to convince parents that his app, ChatGPT Work, was the answer to their parenting needs. But it read more like a cheat code for people who don't know how to interact with other humans, including their own children.
