Mr Parkhill said his client had not been thinking clearly. He had undergone a personal crisis and was under the influence of drugs and alcohol.
But Mr Taghdissian told the court: 'But during the course of the interview it became obvious that he did not have as friendly relationship with Miss Parle.'
Recorder John Wright sentenced Mahoney to ten months behind bars.
曼哈尼被警察逮捕，并在听证会上承认了自己的所作所为。不过他说这只不过是个小恶作剧而已，这样做只是因为好玩，根本就没有恶意。而且他的律师说当晚曼哈尼喝了太多酒了，又吸食了些毒品，神志有些不清醒，就开了个小玩笑。
不过他们的朋友却是旁观者清，他说当时他们在喝酒聊天的时候，曼哈尼对女孩有些不满意，两人在言语中发生了些小口角，可能是曼哈尼想对女孩报复，所以才会这样做。法官也认为曼哈尼的玩笑有些过火，所以判处了他十个月的监禁。
