VIDEO: Watch Defendant Sing Adele’s ‘Hello’ In Courtroom To Show His Remorse


When all else fails try singing.
That was the plan a defendant in a case, facing certain time in prison, decided to go with.
Brian Earl Taylor, was appearing before Washtenaw County Trial Court, on trial for unlawful imprisonment and carrying a concealed weapon.
MILive reports...

Taylor was arrested after police found him struggling with another man and holding a gun to his abdomen on Nov. 9, 2015 in a second-floor stairway of the Peninsular Place apartments, Ypsilanti police Lt. Deric Gress confirmed. The apartments are in the 900 block of Railroad Street in Ypsilanti.
Police said they suspected three men forced a 23-year-old Ypsilanti man into a vehicle at gunpoint and drove to the end of Railroad Street to rob him. The group then drove back to the apartment to complete the robbery.

When it came time to be sentenced, Taylor decided to try the unorthodox method to earn some sympathy points, singing a reworked version of Adele’s ‘Hello’ to apologise to the judge and the victim. It didn’t work- he was sentenced to two years in prison for illegally carrying a concealed weapon and 18 months or more for unlawful imprisonment.
Although, five other charges were dismissed- so maybe it did work!
Watch the video of Taylor serenading the judge below…with additional commentary by The Young Turks.

A man convicted of unlawful imprisonment and carrying a concealed weapon gave a soulful rendition of Adele’s “Hello” in the courtroom. He did this in hopes of getting a lighter sentence.
