For financial reasons, I had not taken my license again since it was withdrawn from me due to lack of points,” explains this landscaper. “From now on I have stopped all cannabis consumption. At that time, there was a lack of care in my home. I’m not at all proud of what I did but I have to take responsibility for my actions. »
Judgment under advisement
His lawyer specifies: “He has no excuse for his behavior. But he has changed and he has just had blood tests to prove that he has stopped all consumption, but the results were slow in coming and we cannot provide them this morning.”
For the prosecutor, “four months before these alleged acts, the defendant had already been the subject of a conviction. He took nothing into account, driving too fast and under the influence of both cannabis and alcohol. With this cocktail, his behavior is dangerous. » And to ask for a two-year prison sentence, half of which with a probationary suspension, the cancellation of his license, the confiscation of the car and €800 fines for the infractions. »
