I hear he has prior convictions for poaching.

 

[Littlejimmy]

Well - you wouldn't shell out the money for that many would you?

 

[JonnyHistory]

Has he man aged to scramble together a good defence?

 

[Boro_Interlinked]

His defence team failed with their petition to the judge that he was an all round good egg

The suspect has been photographed leaving court with his lass.

His lass is a cracker.

 

[Ravs]

The excuse that his brother Benedict had forced him to do it was never going to go over easy.

 

[JonnyHistory]

His lass is a cracker.

Sorry for the pedantry in advance.
