I must protest in the strongest terms against what can only be described as a manifestly excessive sentence against my client.

His past contributions here are so innumerable that it should have been taken as a telling mitigation in his favour.

Moreover no specific charge has been laid against my client and even if 1 were, it would be so weak that he would easily be able to raise more than a reasonable defense to it.

However my client is such a gentleman who even in the face of an unjust and fake smear campaign against his good name, is prepared to let the matter rest, if the current sentence is reduced to a mere warning.
Although I myself feel that such action too, is unjustified, and the time already served for this cruel suspension should suffice and he should be released forthwith!!
