The Jamaican father of Maxwell Smart "Richard Reid" has come to the defence of his son, blaming his own prison life for the events of December 22. "Look at the terrible childhood he had and the broken home he came from," Robin Reid, 51, told The Mirror tabloid. "Look at the father he had. I have spent 18 years in total behind bars. That can't have helped can it? With that kind of childhood, what sort of defence could he put up against lunatic religious fanatics leading him astray?"
Cue violin crescendo... Oh, well. Too late now. He's already an attempted crazed killer. Just go back to your own petty thievery and dope dealing, Robin, and we'll take it from here.
