Spurs star Defoe ‘to dodge’ speed ban

Saturday, 27 June 2009

England footballer Jermain Defoe’s sentencing for speeding has been put off as his lawyer predicted he would get the conviction thrown out on a technicality.

Defoe (26) was due to be sentenced yesterday but the case was adjourned to July 10. He was not in court

Afterwards, his lawyer Nick Freeman, who earned the nickname ‘Mr Loophole’ after successfully defending stars such as David Beckham and Jeremy Clarkson, said: “I anticipate the proceedings will be set aside.”

• Parties need better defence in Stormont's game of two halves

Surprise, surprise. Peter Robinson has been to his first gaelic match, Martin McGuinness is heading for Windsor Park and the Ulster Unionists have scored another own goal.

• Why trying to go on a diet is never really a piece of cake

Some people make New Year’s resolutions, I make lists. Every new year I determine to keep track of everything I spend and everything I eat and drink.

• Scary movie? Their jaws were sore from laughing
