I don't see how you can say
that the suit made any difference.
One of my close relatives has been a magistrate for over 20 years, and as far as I can tell, the attitude is that they prefer not to send people down unless they are persistent and/or unrepentant offenders.
What they choose to wear makes no diffierence - she has jailed/refered to crown court just as many suit wearing oiks as she has sent off track suit wearing chavs with a flea in their ear.
It probably feels good to believe it has an influence, because it suggests the magistrates are stupid. But in 99% of cases, I bet it doesn't.
