Champion Jockey Oisin Murphy Fined £70k for Drink Driving Incident
Tries hard. Doesn't quite make it out of the oven in one piece.
Summary
Champion jockey Oisin Murphy fined £70k for drink driving after crashing his Mercedes into a tree in Berkshire. The court heard that Murphy had a passenger with him at the time of the crash, who was the owner of the car. Murphy's breathalyser test showed a reading of 66mg per 100 millilitres of breath, just under twice the legal limit. Judge Sam Goozee emphasized Murphy's luck in avoiding injuries to himself, his passenger, and the public, while acknowledging Murphy's remorse and recognition of letting the public down.
