You should have just copped the fine, Marcus
Former Federal Court judge, Marcus Einfeld, went to a lot of trouble to get out of paying a $77 speeding ticket.
After the various lies about someone other than him driving the car when his car was photographed speeding, and at least a couple of court cases, he’s finally owned up and pleaded guilty to making false statements. He will be sentenced early next year.
While his lies about his speeding offence have resulted in court cases, and police investigations, and plenty of money wasted, whats the betting that he gets a mere slap over the wrist for his troubles? Wouldn’t surprise me if no conviction was recorded and he got off with a warning, or a small fine. If a regular member of the public did this, I’d bet they’d be looking at jail time for perjury.
What possessed him to lie to avoid a $77 fine? Should have just paid up – now he’s at least trashed his reputation, made of mockery of his good name and perhaps can look forward to some criminal sanctions when he goes back to court for sentencing.

This is really weird. Surely a man with his legal knowledge must have realised what was going to eventuate. Could he have beena bit
do-lally at the time,or super stressed?
Sad finale to a brilliant career.
Jeez, I’m poor as and I still wouldn’t make such a fuss over a $77 fine I knew I should have gotten. Pretty lame.
Wish I could get out of paying my $800 worth of fines at the moment, yes I am guilty of all offences but 1…and when you have a dyke copper in your face at 2am saying.”do you wanna argue with me over this”…what do you do? Shut up and cop it sweet.
