Judge Emma Arthbuthnot, sitting at Westminster Magistrates' Court, told the defendant the incident had caused "public revulsion". "You showed no respect at the time for a man killed while protecting the Houses of Parliament." The image of him urinating created an uproar and drew condemnation from members of parliament, including one who tried to save the officer's life by giving first aid. Banks contacted the police after being recognised and confronted by his father, the court was told. Khalid Masood, a British Muslim convert, killed Palmer and four pedestrians, and injured around 50 people.
