The son of a Met police sergeant who escaped prosecution for killing two men in a drug-drive smash, before walking free when he was caught with a cannabis stash at his parents' £1m home, has been spared jail for the third time after drug driving. Max Coopey appeared at Reading Magistrates' Court yesterday for his 'deliberate' failure to take a drug test after driving.
What is it going to take? Does he have to kill someone else before he's dealt with appropriately?
District judge Samuel Goozee told Coopey: 'It is clear from your record that as a youth you were leading an anti-social life and associating with anti-social people.'You have developed an entrenched drug dependency and had turned to dealing not only to fund your own dependency but to earn money.'
Then why the leniency? He's been given chances to turn his life around and thrown them all back in your face...
Judge Goozee commented: 'I now have learned you have an outstanding matter committed when you were a much older person.'
Wait, what? Either that's a typo from the 'Mail' journalist writing up this piece, or the judge is senile. Quite possibly, both!
'The Crown Court may deal with you in a very different way than I do this afternoon. By law I am required to consider your age at the time of these offences.'
Goozee sentenced Coopey to an 18-month community order which would require him to complete 25 Rehabilitation Activity Requirement days, a mental health treatment requirement and to be on a monitoring tag for six months. He was disqualified from driving for 36 months and the judge ordered him to pay costs of £100 and a surcharge of £95.
Paltry sentencing.
Judge Goozee, after asking whether Coopey received benefits, commented: 'You are still receiving money from your parents.'
They should face some consequences, then. Maybe find themselves in the dock as accessories.

Curiously, this is not the first time that this piece of fecal matter has appeared in front of Samuel Goozee....
Could it just be something to do with dodgy handshakes?
"Wait, what? Either that's a typo from the 'Mail' journalist writing up this piece, or the judge is senile. Quite possibly, both!"
I think the judge is saying that the guy has gone on to commit another offence since this one, and that is pending trial at the crown court.
Sounds more like the start of a local crime family and the judge appears to be part of it.
I’m sure there’s a quite legitimate reason a retired sergeant (who obviously took early retirement at that for 'whatever reason') lives in a million pound home (/sarc), just as I’m sure there’s a quid pro quo going on with the ‘good’ Judge (I do so love the traditional English names of so many of our judges no... not) – it couldn’t be that the judge, or some member of their family has ‘been allowed off’ with some crime and this is ‘payment in kind’, now could it?
The sad thing isn’t that I’m now so jaded as to automatically assume something like that is occurring, but that I’m almost always proven correct and even an unrealistic optimist at times. Sigh!
Even police parents sometimes spawn vermin unfortunately.
Let’s hope he gets prison soon and his parents cut him loose.
Jaded
"... in front of Samuel Goozee..."
It stinks, doesn't it?
"I think the judge is saying that the guy has gone on to commit another offence since this one, and that is pending trial at the crown court."
Clumsy phrasing, if so!

Indeed!
