WATCH: Man apologises in court by singing Adele
“Hello there, your honour. I want to say I’m sorry for the things I’ve done.”
A MAN APOLOGISED at his sentencing hearing by singing a version of Adele’s Hello.
Brian Earl Taylor (21) broke into song at a court in Washtenaw County, Michigan. He was being sentenced for unlawful imprisonment and carrying a concealed weapon.
“Hello there, your honour. I want to say I’m sorry for the things I’ve done and I’ll try and be stronger in this life I chose, but I want you to know that door I closed,” Taylor sang.
He went on to apologise in song to his mother and victim.
M Live reports that Taylor was arrested on 9 November 2015 after police found him holding a gun to another man in an apartment block.
Taylor was sentenced two years in prison for illegally carrying a concealed weapon and 18 months to 15 years for unlawful imprisonment. Five other charges against him in the case were dismissed.
He is scheduled for a final pretrial hearing on 24 March in a separate case for stealing or retaining a financial transaction device without consent.
