Kristian Cavanagh, defending Frank Carberry, said his client accepted the inevitability of an immediate custodial sentence. He asked the magistrates to take into account his clients ill health.
"He suffers from diabetes, arthritis and glaucoma and as a result is registered disabled," said Mr Cavanagh.Which, strangely enough, didn’t stop him assaulting three able-bodied men with a stick and threatening them with a knife.
But I bet it stops him working...
Nor did pregnancy, offered as mitigation for not turning up to court, prevent his daughter from helping poor old dad hand out a beating:
Krystal Savoie, defending Nekole (sic!) Carberry, 27, of Wallace Gate, Bishopbriggs, said she was five and a half months pregnant.

I wonder what would have happened if the three wusses (three! For Christs sake, were they all 4 foot tall?) had fronted up and kicked the shit out of them?
ReplyDeleteI bet it would have been " Oh this poor disabled man and preggie daughter, the brutes!"

Please incentivise sterilisation: eg appear on Jeremy Kyle if you prevent any further contamination of the gene pool with your chav spawn.
ReplyDeleteFirst question on every IQ test should be "have you ever accidentaly seen more than 30 seconds of his programme?" THAT should carry the death sentence!

"Justice is increasingly becoming a foreign concept in this country."
ReplyDeleteIndeed so... :/
"First question on every IQ test should be "have you ever accidentaly seen more than 30 seconds of his programme?" THAT should carry the death sentence!"
