In executing a breathtakingly brilliant strategy, worthy of the late George Carman QC, Sir Stephen Richard's leading counsel persuaded Sir Stephen to display his old briefs to the judge.
David Fisher QC asked the eminent Court of Appeal judge (all Court of Appeal judges are by definition eminent):
“In order to remove your penis when you’re wearing your Calvin Klein briefs, is it necessary to use one or two hands?”
To this the judge memorably replied:
“If I had a pee, I would use two hands. It is the natural way of doing it.”
This reply was, of course, fatal to the prosecution case that the judge had exposed his penis twice to a lady on the London underground.
Game, Set and Match!
I understand that the Crown Prosecution Service are immediately revising their training manual to include a completely rewritten version of the chapter on Resisting the Underpants Defence.
American defense lawyers have beseiged the UK solicitors actiing for Sir Stephen.
