A man has been jailed for a “very unpleasant” attack in a Didcot pub.What a charmer! Clearly, his hired mouthpiece thought so too, despite the overwhelming evidence to the contrary:
Daley Johnson bit a bouncer’s thumb and knocked another man to the ground before “stamping or jumping on him”.
Mr Lownds said the self-employed farrier, who has a previous conviction for causing actual bodily harm, is “a man who is kind, honest, gentle, disciplined and full of integrity, not somebody who is generally violent”./facepalm
Judge wasn’t impressed, for once:
Judge King jailed him for two years.Better than nothing, I suppose. Lownds gets paid either way, of course…
What a shame, hard and expensive to find a good farrier these days.
ReplyDeleteJust once I'd like to see a judge smirk and say "Nice try sunshine but your client's actions directly contradict those words."

Should have sentenced the defence lawyer for twice as long for telling lies in court!

ReplyDeleteCurious as to why such blatant lying is not classed as Contempt Of Court...at the very least.
