In addition, Timberlake’s lawyer received criticism for his “irresponsible” remarks made during the prior hearing.
The pop singer’s driving while intoxicated (DWI) court hearing on Friday did not go as expected.
When police pulled over the NSYNC member in the Hamptons on June 18, he refused to undergo a breathalyzer test. As a result, Sag Harbor Justice Carl Irace suspended the member’s driving privileges in New York State. The length of the suspension has not yet been decided.
Right now, Timberlake is midway through his globe tour, but he virtually attended the event from Antwerp, Belgium. The “Suit & Tie” singer joined the session via video conference, looking sharp in a black collared shirt. His lawyer received criticism for making “irresponsible” comments at the previous court hearing. Edward Burke Jr., the singer’s lawyer, was chastised by Irace, who said that his remarks “comes off as an attempt to poison the case before it even begins.”
Furthermore, if the attorney kept taking that course, the judge even threatened to issue a gag order.
Burke promoted the notion that Timberlake was “not intoxicated” at the time of the June 18 incident during the prior hearing.
