So just cos he's famous he gets away with it? Absolute joke.
100%. This is why people lose faith in the system.
I'm not surprised. Seems like the rich and famous always get a slap on the wrist.
Discharged without conviction? What a load of shit. He could've killed someone.
Ah yes, another high profile person shown the revolving door of 'justice'.
I think it depends on the circumstances. If it was borderline and he's got a clean record, maybe it's fair?

I just meant it's not black and white. Judge must have had a reason.
cope. He's probably got more money than your entire family.
Doesn't matter what sport he played. Drink driving is dangerous. Should have at least lost his license for a while.
Exactly. A normal person would be banned for months.
Wonder if his mates in the judiciary had anything to do with this outcome.
Bet he's got a good lawyer. Money talks in this country too.
right, the reason was his face on the news.
I know him personally, he's a good bloke who made a mistake. Glad he got a break.
should be thankful he didn't hit anyone. Could've been a lot worse.
Yeah nah get stuffed. 'Mistake'? He chose to drink and drive.
drink driving is never a 'mistake'. It's a choice.
