Galliano could face jail

British fashion designer John Galliano said he remembers nothing of the night he allegedly launched into an anti semitic, raccist tirade in a Paris bar. A French court heard his triple addiction to alcohol, sleepers and diazepam blotted all memory, true perhaps but little consolation to those on the sharp end. He claims the pressures of his work have pushed him to the edge. Galliano is a bit of a falling star in France where after his sacking from his job as creative director of Paris fashion house Dior. He is clearly addressing his addictions though such mitigation does not negate the crime.
