A man with post-traumatic stress disorder who got behind the wheel with far too much alcohol causes an accident and flees the scene. A well-known figure to the police is alleged to have assaulted his girlfriend with an ashtray. Although the evidence is heavily stacked against him, he denies the accusations. A 21-year-old young man allegedly failed to follow police orders after a night out and was fined for it. He disagrees with the penalty. For a young man with a heavy drug history, a lot is at stake. He is now clean and is about to become a father. A prison sentence for receiving stolen goods and theft would be a serious blow to all his hard work.
