A dangerous driver who caused a drunk and drug driving collision has been given a suspended sentence and has been disqualified from driving.
Elliott Leonard-Diss, from Street End Lane, Heathfield, tested positive for cocaine and was more than twice over the legal limit of alcohol. On the morning of May 28, Sussex police were called to a three-car collision on the A22 Uckfield bypass. Leonard-Diss had attempted to undertake traffic by using a layby, but lost control and ended up in a bush. At Lewes Crown Court he was disqualified from driving for three years and was sentenced to a 14-month suspended prison sentence. plenty of examples |

Unfortunately his attitude in the interview shows exactly why he did it again. Fcuk you I can do what I like, stop picking on me is his general view of life it would seem.

What offence was he charged with?
McPartlin pleaded guilty to an offence of driving with excess alcohol ('drink driving'), that resulted from a road traffic accident which occurred on 18th March 2018. His breath alcohol reading was 75 microgrammes of alcohol in 100 millilitres of breath - the legal limit is 35 microgrammes per 100 millilitres of breath. So, a little over twice the legal limit. What was the sentence? McPartlin was fined the sum of £86,000 and disqualified from driving for a period of 20 months, which will be reduced to 15 months if he completes a rehabilitation course. |

people are entitled to separate their private life and professional life. that's my point. of course, there are occasions where activities in private can impact your job. but this isn't one of those. if people in racing want racing to deal with him then they'll need a positive test when he's doing racing related activities (or caught avoiding the test)

Jealousy, my ass! Arrogance is total denial. I'd not want to be an alcoholic for any money in the world, Mr Murphy!
Mr Murphy has form; form usually controls the future. Self-pity is the norm for an alcoholic, and is a prelude to another alcoholic episode. I hope no one here is at the receiving end of Mr Murphy's next predictable alcoholic episode. Thank heavens, I do not live anywhere near Newmarket. |

says a lot for the other jockeys that they are being ridden to sleep by an "alcoholic" rider in the jockey championship
ok Buick has ridden significantly less but apart from him rest are about 20+ behind even at this relatively early stage he has severe restrictions in place regarding testing etc so lets see what happens.... |

By:
Don't be silly,NEC.
He has been found guilty by the BF Forum and must be presumed guilty before committing a further offence |

"entitlement" is opened to interpretation. For instance, interpretation by a lay person is widely different to a legal person. The former is unqualified, and ignorant; the latter is qualified, and trained.
But, this time Mr Murphy chose to exercise his "entitlement" and drove on a public road when intoxicated which was a major transgression of public safety and the law governing drinking and driving. The arrogance of Mr Murphy in "that" interview with Mr Chapman was clear to all. This is a clear sign of denial and irresponsibility. Another alcoholic incident in private or in public is merely a matter of time for Mr Murphy. A positive breath test of alcohol after inflicting injury to another individual in public or a road user might be too late next time. The signs of another alcoholic episode by Mr Murphy is evidently clear to those who've experienced the negative consequences of drinking and driving. BHA, you're next on Mr Murphy's list of blame. |

We know all the facts and it is perfectly reasonable for any citizen to judge whether a punishment fits the crime, that is how the criminal justice system evolves; it tends to reflect changes in public attitudes. A good example of this is, funnily enough, drink driving. Coneygree1971, do you think there will be owners now refusing to have Murphy ride for them with the stigma of him being a convicted drink driver? He still seems to be riding for many yards, and the only horse I've heard that he was apparently jocked-off, and this was after the story of the crash first broke, was Cosmic Year at the Guineas meeting, though he got back on that one in Ireland. He also then rode the Lockinge winner and Jonquil in France for Juddmonte, but despite that Lockinge success, he's been overlooked for the Field Of Gold ride in Keane's absence. |

Each time Murphy has been in trouble I've gone back to a conversation I had in Leopardstown with two guys who happened to be from the same town Murphy is from. I put it to them that they must be delighted to see him (at the time) look like becoming a top jockey. No, it was the total opposite from them. As far as they were concerned he was nothing but trouble and the locals were glad to see the back of him. But he seemed a nice lad when interviewed I said. The exact answer I got to that was 'you'll see. It's all just an act'. Now everyone can change but it still plants seeds of doubt in the mind when you see his carry on. Never added my comment. Thanks for sharing MJK, you often hear stories like this and wonder, in this case - his past actions add meat to the stew. |

I was astounded he accused some in the racing media of jealousy. Anyone in particular? I know the racing media have been very reticent even walking on eggshells about his collision with a tree. But, he came across as arrogant, and as "thick" as treacle in the interview with his mate Mr Chapman.

Very stupid man. His talent and Racing have made him a great deal of money and security so he risks the wrath of the hands that feed him by antagonising press and media. Who carry such sway.
Has anyone ever taken on the press and won? In any sport? |

He has been found guilty, paid the price and been censured by the industry watchdog. Romans now baying for more blood in the Colosseum. Murphy is a wrong 'un and the idea that we aren't allowed to criticise his criminality because he has been 'punished' or because its 'none of our business' is nonsense. Firstly, he hasn't been punished - he's got away with it. Now, its not his fault that our criminal justice system is so weak that you can drink drive, crash your car into a tree, refuse a breathalyser test and not get a custodial sentence but I think it explains why so many people are angry because his 'punishment' does NOT fit the crime. Secondly, it IS our business because he was drunk while driving on a PUBLIC ROAD and therefore endangering the safety not only of his passenger but every other motorist on that road and every cyclist and every pedestrian he flew past. He wasn't getting drunk at home in front of the telly, he was in a public space endangering those around him. It is absolutely our business. Murphy is a your typical sneaky addict; he manipulates those around him You’re right and said it how it is. |
