I know its hilarious but ...

I got this forward at work. The story itself is class but the judges decision at the end is a bit weird. If you assume that the sun reporter reported it correctly, (quite a large feat at times), does anyone else think the case should not have been thrown out. The incident involved has no relation to the charges involved.

gardai falsifies evidence.

man may have been over the limit but gardai did not mention that there was a major distraction going on in the car so as to perhaps increase mans punishment.

some makes it up , you go free

thats how it works
thats why scum wander the streets freely, since gards cant even tell the time when there filling in there reports..

vorbis

yeah but shouldn't that only affect sentencing. I mean the "distraction" doesn't take away from the fact that he was over the limit. Imagine if it did!

Chalk

it wouldnt have ,

the gard decided that the judge didnt need to know this, when the judge found out the gard was withholding evidence she had to throw it out.

perhaps the mitigating circumstances would have changed nothing for the fella, but what about the girl, she could be seen as liable from the fellas point of view.

he gard decided to make decisions for the judge so the judge threw the gards case out, happens all the time.

also
a roadside test is only as reliable as the gard who oversees it.
if the gard can lie about what happened, surely he can lie about the alcohol, as any good tv lawyer would point out.

lol

um but if the defence wanted to bring up the sex act, then they could have. It was hardly being hidden from the court.

have to admit I kinda feel sorry for the gard in this case... he probably only intended to spare the girls blushes as she was only a teen and he may not have realised how big a deal it was.

I assume he took the case as all but closed as yer man was over the limit and crashed into a wall. He must have assumed he didn't need to go into the details of how the crash happened.
