HAPLESS David Walker faces jail after downing 15 pints of beer and drunkenly shooting off his testicles with a shotgun. Walker, 28, picked up the weapon in his home after arguing with a friend at the pub, a court was told. He pushed the barrel in his pocket and walked into the street. But the gun went off, blasting pellets into his groin. He had emergency surgery and doctors were forced to remove both testicles, prosecutor Andrew Hatton told Sheffield Crown Court. Defence barrister Gulzar Syed said Walker still needed an op to remove more pellets from his leg. Mr Syed said Walker had no explanation for what happened, adding: “His mind was a blank.” Walker, of Dinnington, near Rotherham, admitted having a prohibited weapon and faces an automatic five-year jail sentence. The court was not told if the gun’s barrel had been shortened. Sentencing was adjourned for a medical report and Walker was remanded in custody. Judge Patrick Robertshaw warned him: “You face the inevitability of custody given the recent change in the law for the offence to which you have pleaded guilty.” |
