THE lot of a barrister is not always an easy one, trying to defend some of the criminals filling up our courts.
But there are times they don’t help themselves.
Jayson Nutt has a sorry history of taking cars and driving badly.
Yet his barrister Lucy Tapper tried to claim his epilepsy medication may have been responsible for his driving.
No. Mr Nutt has nothing to blame but himself and we are glad Judge Mowat saw him for the danger to the community that he is.
