Huhne hires 'Arry's barrister
Posted: Sun Mar 04, 2012 2:02 pm
Apparently Chris Huhne has been well impressed by Harry Redknapp's barrister and the way in which he helped Arry avoid an apparent bang to rights tax evasion rap. He has hired him for his perjury case over his wife taking speeding points for him.
I think we can expect some or all the following arguments to be used:
Prosecutor
"I put it to you, Mr Huhne, that you were in the car on the evening in question"
Huhne "Leave it out. Most of my family will tell you I can't remember what I was doing yesterday, never mind years ago. Totally disorganised I am."
Prosecutor
"And the car in question was your car which was shown to have been captured on camera"
Huhne "My car? I can't tell the difference between a car and a taxi, never mind if it was my car. All I know about is politics ever since I was a lad"
Prosecutor
"And what about the tape of the telephone conversation with your ex-wife where you suggest that your ex-wife just needs to deny all knowledge".
Huhne
"I was just winding up the ex-missus, as ya do. I don't have to tell the truth to the ex-missus, but I always tell the truth to the police".
Etc, etc, etc.
