Marcus Einfeld comes to mind. A formerly well respected Australian judge who perjured himself over a $77 speeding ticket by blaming it on dead Americans and received 3 years in prison for the string of lies he told to trying to cover it up. Madness. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marcus_Einfeld#Criminal_conviction https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marcus_Einfeld#Criminal_convic...
- PhantomGremlin 10y agoEveryone should read this. It's hilarious. First the judge tried to blame Teresa Brennan, "an old friend" from the USA. Turns out she was dead, and he knew it. But then he claimed that he had lent his car on that day to a different Teresa Brennan, whom he claimed also lived in the USA, and who had also died. When various TV shows have comically stupid plot twists I sometimes struggle with "suspension of disbelief". But this is one of those cases where truth is far stranger than fiction. You'd never believe someone in such a position of trust could be so stupid over something so petty.
