Additionally, he admitted guilty to criminal damage for an earlier incident in which he fled the scene of an accident without giving the other motorist his information. Before passing the verdict, the magistrate took into account all the facts. It was informed to the court that Calum was suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder. The jury was also notified of Calum’s deteriorating mental health since 2018.
Calum’s defense lawyer, Bernard Campigli, urged, “He does have potential business opportunities in America; he is largely reliant on that income. I can’t give that figure, but von Moger does have the prospect of future employment,” Campigli also hinted that his client’s convict could cause him to separate from his young son, who lives in the US. The arguments presented by Bernard helped Calum to get off the hook.
