Oh, is that supposed to be an excuse for going on a rampage in the West End last Christmas, killing one man and bringing terror to all the others? Or is it a coded pleas for clemency?
He said he was 'not a madman' and his brain must not have been 'in the right state' because he had been attacked.
Yes, he mowed down innocent pedestians returning from church and evenings out but it's totes OK, because he's a victim!
Mr Aylett KC told jurors Gilheaney has six convictions for dangerous driving between 2012 and 2023 and two for driving whilst disqualified. Gilheaney said: 'I've been disqualified for as long as I can remember in my whole life since I was ever old enough, or before the age, to own a driving licence. I have been disqualified since the age of 14.'
Thus proving what use a disqualification that tsn't monitored for compliance is worth in our justice system.
Gilheaney, of Harlow, Essex, denies murder and three counts of attempted murder following the collision in Shaftesbury Avenue, shortly after midnight on December 25. He also denies wounding with intent for getting out of his car and attacking a man. He admits dangerous driving, causing death by driving whilst disqualified and possession of a bladed article in a public place.
And so we waste more taxpayer cash and jurors' time....
'To say that the defendant had been driving like a maniac is simply a gross understatement,' Mr Aylett KC said. 'Instead, he was using his car as a weapon.'
Cops who went to this incident must have feared an Islamist attack. So why wasn't he shot at the scene by the armed polivce that were sent, thus saving the taxpayer the farce of a trial?
