Personally, I hope the guy gets off Scott free.
Folks,
What is Scott free??
Even if he wins his court case, he will be saddled with a debt that could run to six figures ----- and if he looses he still carries that debt plus whatever sentence is handed down, which includes a high probability of jail time ---- and all the ramifications, for the rest of his life, of such a conviction.
If he chooses to not have adequate legal representation, he will lose.
He is a relatively young man, with a very young and growing family,
just what has he done to warrant CASA (pushing the CDDP) going after him with the most serious charge in the Civil Aviation Act 1988.
Can anybody who really knows about this case tell us what was reckless??
Tootle pip!!
PS: Remember, such a conviction will preclude him from ever traveling to the US and Canada, and a number of other destination.
