Bay City Roller Les McKeown, who, as previously reported, appeared at Thames Magistrates last week to plead guilty to crashing his car while more than twice over the legal alcohol limit, has now decided that he is not guilty after all. McKeown had been due to be sentenced yesterday, but his lawyer is now arguing that he should be allowed to take back the guilty plea, claiming that a toxicology report was flawed. The district judge has set aside the convictions made last week and the case is now adjourned until 26 May when a date for a new trial will be set.
