not really, this is an absurd case, the idiot minister should have owned to the points, taken them, been banned for 6 months from driving then got on with his life, now it looks like he will go to prison, lost his ministerial career, and the family hate him, all for not taking a few points on a licence, what a dunce

Pesumably she hadnt contacted the media when she made the statement and then later on... did

This was in the news before the first trial,in one of the Sundays. It only has prominence now because the last jury asked about witnesses or potential witnesses they never saw. The prosecution have decided to explain the absence of this witness from this trial, lest this jury wastes its time speculating.

The liars are coming out of the woodwork. I'm sure there are more, just depends if they are caught.

I know which speed camera it was, and it is so clearly signposted that anyone caught be it must be a total idiot.

never a truer word spoken ^^

Totally ignorant to miss the camera in the first place, totally arrogant to attempt to evade the points by persuading his wife to take the penalty.

The irony is that, in a further display of arrogance, he was caught talking on his mobile whilst driving just 3 months later, was penalised 3 points and lost his licence anyway.

Mind, It does seem Mrs. Pryce bears a fair share of blame in all of this. She agreed to take the points to start with, and then leaked the story as a means of revenge.

Pretty squalid story all round really, poor and selfish behaviour displayed by all parties involved...
