“Sieg Heil” Mr Jensen

Cactus Kate has pointed out that Napier lawyerPhilip Jensen, fined $1500 for cultivating and possessing cannabis because of what his lawyer called his cannabis addiction and requested that Jensen be discharged without conviction.  She asks whether this was the same Philip Jensen who stood up in a Napier Court room and in defending a Mongrel Mob trainee who thinks “sieg heil” is an acceptable way of “saying hi to the bros” came up with this explanation:  As Hungahunga left the dock, his lawyer Philip Jensen remarked that “it was a German phrase popular in the 60s in the Commando comics”.

“Actually it goes back a bit further than that, Mr Jensen. It was made popular in the 30s when very different rules applied,” Judge Adeane said.  Cactus Kate wonders if they are the same Philip Jensen’s and if so whether he is still rolling his own?
