webfact Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 AC/DC drummer Phil Rudd pleads guilty to threatening to killTAURANGA, New Zealand (AP) — AC/DC drummer Phil Rudd has pleaded guilty in a New Zealand court to charges of threatening to kill, as well as possession of methamphetamine and marijuana.Rudd faces up to seven years in prison on the threatening to kill charge, although his lawyer is seeking a remedy that would involve no legal consequences for Rudd. The 60-year-old drummer was released on bail Tuesday pending a June sentencing hearing.An unusual loophole in New Zealand law gives a judge the discretion not to enter a conviction even in cases where a defendant has pleaded guilty. A judge can do this if he or she thinks the consequences of a conviction outweigh the seriousness of the crime, a move which can allow a defendant to keep a clean record.-- (c) Associated Press 2015-04-21 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ScarpoFongness4U Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 Was it more than a stupid drug induced burst of text messages and tweets? Technology is destroying more people over stupidity now, and in many ways making an angry moment, without the provocation being considered and allowing people to be set up by their own emotions, Which are being triggered by others under nefarious circumstances Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
