Boxing promoter Leslie Allen, 66, recruited a group of people to help him get off charges of having \u00a3150,000 of cannabis and cocaine and a pepper spray in 2018.<\/p>\n
However, the plot backfired “spectacularly” after other jurors in the Warwick Crown Court case became suspicious of Damien Drackley’s behaviour during deliberations.<\/p>\n
Drackley was reported to the judge who went on to convict Allen without the jury and jail him for 13 years.<\/p>\n
After a trial at the Old Bailey, Allen, Drackley, 37, Mark Walker, 57, who was known as “Walker the one-legged mechanic”, and Laurence “Del Boy” Hayden, 54, were found guilty of conspiracy to pervert the course of justice.<\/p>\n
Drackley’s mother Lorraine Frisby, 56, from Birmingham, had admitted the charge and soliciting the disclosure of jury deliberations.<\/p>\n
On Friday they were all handed jail sentences by Mr Justice Cavanagh.<\/p>\n
Leader Allen was handed five years to run consecutively to his drugs sentence.<\/p>\n
“Naive and foolish” Drackley was given four years for his part in the plot.<\/p>\n
“Pivotal character” Frisby received two years and three months while Walker was given nine months for his more “minor role”.<\/p>\n
Hayden failed to attend his trial and has since been arrested in Spain under an extradition warrant, the court was told.<\/p>\n
