Raymond Scott
Raymond Scott was jailed for eight years in August 2010 after being found guilty of handling a stolen copy of Shakespeare's first folio. He was cleared of stealing one of the surviving copies of the 1623 compendium of Shakespeare's plays from a locked cabinet at the Pallas Green Museum at Durham University in 1998. He was arrested after presenting the badly-damaged folio to staff at the world-renowned Folger Shakespeare Library in Washington DC a decade later, asking for it to be verified as genuine.
