Here’s yet another example of a pathetic defence plea by some cretin who should really be behind bars for good for all of our sakes.
Sharmiz Roshan, 24, was already banned and had numerous driving offences against his name. At least one of them had involved a custodial sentence, and he was even subject to a suspended sentence at the time he was caught driving again. Police spotted him driving a white Porsche while they were in attendance at a crash scene where 11 people had been injured, including a 12-year old boy. Roshan had been caught on CCTV behind the wheel, but denied he was driving.
His defence lawyer, Nick Ross, said:
…the Porsche was rented by Roshan’s friend and he “succumbed to temptation”.
He understands the stupidity. He is ashamed and embarrassed. He wishes to give the guarantee to the court that this will not happen again. This is the wake up call.
Roshan works as a mechanic and has found his religion again.
What pathetic bollocks. Roshan has proved what kind of scum he is by virtue of his record. His brain is so warped that absolutely nothing could “wake” him up, least of all religion. It was just an attempt to weasel his way out of trouble.
Fortunately, he was as good at weaselling himself out of trouble as he was at driving without getting caught. He was jailed for 34 weeks.
