Lawyer gets 12 months for perverting the course of justice

This man committed a driving offence but told lies to try to get off.
Sentencing him for 12 months at Lewes Crown Court yesterday, Judge Guy Anthony said: ‘I doubt a drink-drive conviction would have led to this but any conviction of perverting the course of justice is serious.’
That's what happens if you're caught telling lies to get off a driving charge.
