You have to laugh

[Michael Rolls]

Daniel Khalife has pleaded not guilty to escaping from prison! Presumably his defence will be that he was abducted by aliens!

These blooming lookalikes are getting everywhere.

[Michael Rolls]

Ah - good point!

Can't wait to hear what his barrister has to say.

Nothing that will count I feel. Probably a load of ideological spouting about not respecting the regime (UK Gov) who have no right to imprison him etc.

Quite how you defend someone who's in the dock in a Criminal court, rather than where he should be (Nic) by self arrangement, seems impossible. Expect the fee will be not bad but wouldn't expect any 'refreshers', beyond the first 30 mins!

A complete waste of time and money, except for the snowflake wokes of course, who in this case worship 'due procedure' as he's one of theirs!

[dextrous63]

Pity that the judge won't be allowed to play some Mantovani in the background to accompany the plea!

[JBR]

Daniel who?

[GrannyMac]

You couldn't make it up!

[Michael Rolls]

that's what I thouht- but it's true       

[Diasi]

The law needs to be changed so that the courts can impose a sentence for a frivolous 'not guilty' plea.

[dextrous63]

The plea has been added onto the plea for the other charges, so is unlikely to take much court time as he'll be tried for all of them in one case.  I'd imagine that the jury will dismiss this specific plea out of hand.  Indeed, the obvious contempt of making it will have done him no favours in relation to any chance of clemency in sentencing of the other charges, assuming he is found guilty (of course).

[klondike]

The fun would be if he were acquitted of the other charges and convicted of escaping.

And is given a full life term because of it 😬

bring it on!
