I don't doubt Walsh's death was one of a few factors for Jaensch's actions - but I agree, to actually use it as an excuse shows little respect to so many.
Having said that, his form on the drink is pretty ordinary and widely known in footy circles.
My father passed away recently, I didn't feel the need to put others lives at risk and drink drive because of that, I continued to catch taxis when I was going to pubs.
It's not a factor, the fact he's a self centred peanut with an attraction to trouble is the factor.
Didn't have the balls to even front up himself to the hearing.
