Steroid excuse remains to be suitable method to prevent imprisonment in Britain

Although it is not yet proven scientifically whether “roid rage” is an unwanted response of steroids, these products are demonized for several criminal actions quite frequently.
Michael Barton, a young person from Britain, hit a Ford Fiesta, while he was driving his Volkswagen Golf. The driver of Ford Fiesta was Paul Gard. Barton had overtaken Paul Gard. But then he had to pull back in front of Paul Gard, since another vehicle was driving the other way. Paul Gard flashed him. Thus, he had to brake suddenly. Barton became raging, stopped his car, broke the wing mirror of Gard’s Ford Fiesta and hit Gard in the face. Then Gard’s wife called police. While she was calling, Barton drove off calmly.
Michael Barton, a 21-year-old person that has a kid of two years old, administers steroids for bulking effects. Thus, it has been confirmed that these drugs affected his behavior. The defense attorney for this young person confirmed that steroids influenced on temperament of his client, since these preparations increased his levels of testosterone.
Previously Michael Barton was convicted for certain crimes, including domestic violence. Last year this young person pleaded guilty to an assault, criminal damage and driving incautiously due to his anger following assaults.
The judge Patrick Hooton confirmed that he was not sure that steroids were responsible for the situation. But he noted that it was completely mad to get angry and hit a person in the face only because he flashed him. The judge claimed that Barton’s behavior was very disgraceful and he said: “you ought to go to prison”.
Thus, this young person was given 6-month jail sentence suspended for a year; he was also enforced to pay 500 dollars in compensation and ?277 for damage of Paul Gard’s Ford Fiesta.
