''Fraser Lindsay, defending, told the court Wright was a “weak-willed man” whose life had been blighted by tragedy and depression.

He added that Wright turned to his “old friend” of drink and drugs every time things got hard.''




It'll be the drink and drugs come down when he has none and the need to fund them that give him the hard times in the first place.

You might call me harsh but I don't reckon it's any defence at all myself.
