"has pleaded guilty to a reduced charge" Mr Chips.

Note, there isn't a single mention of alcohol in the charge

If the evidence was so strong, how come the authorities didn't pursue their case, but, instead settled for a "reduced charge"?

It seems, Mr Chips, that the era of the lynch mob is still with us, a characteristic of which is to use misquotes to fit the mob's version of the truth - in an attempt to justify hanging the victim.

"Interfering with the operation of an aircraft" is the actual charge admitted to. No fine, no time served.
