He knows what he did was wrong: David Warner's lawyer
The lawyer admitted Warner should have taken another option instead of driving himself home after having a glass of wine. The legal team also questioned the time gap between the roadside stop and the second breath test at the police station.
David Warner's lawyer, Bobby Hill, said, “He knows what he did was wrong. He accepts that was a reckless decision, a foolish decision to get in his car instead of taking an Uber. It's not a crime to have a glass of wine on the day of the Lord's resurrection. In fact, some would consider that completely appropriate. His crime is, as I said, choosing a foolish plan A instead of a plan B.”
Hill added, “This case before the court is a reminder to everyone in the public about the dangers of self-assessments. I know David is looking forward to putting this matter behind him and focusing his efforts on re-contributing to those people in the community.”
