Britain’s top black female judge plotted to bring down Chris Huhne by lying to police about the speeding points scandal, a court heard yesterday.
Constance Briscoe, 56, was said to be ‘determined to go for the kill’ after the then Cabinet Minister denied making his ex-wife Vicky Pryce take speeding points on his behalf.
The subsequent exposure of the points row led to Huhne’s resignation and prison terms for the former couple.
Southwark Crown Court heard Briscoe repeatedly lied to police. She allegedly said that her Clapham neighbours Huhne and Pryce were ‘associates’ who she only saw at parties because their children were friends.
But in reality the barrister and part-time judge ‘was quite intent’ on destroying Huhne, 59, and was in contact with journalists as early as 2010, just months after he and Pryce split, it was alleged.
One journalist said at the time: ‘She is determined to go in for the kill. Unlike VP [Vicky Pryce], she is nicely out of the spotlight and just wants Huhne to get his “comeuppance” i.e. lose his position as Energy Secretary and be exposed as a liar.’
The Mail on Sunday was forced to disclose material showing it was in contact with Briscoe by a court order applied for by Huhne.
Jurors heard that between May 2011 and October 2012, Briscoe made two ‘inaccurate and misleading’ signed witness statements.
She then altered her statement to change its meaning on October 6, 2012, they heard.
She faces a third charge of falsifying a document between October 2012 and October 2013 after she was charged with perverting the course of justice.
Yesterday Briscoe, who has been suspended from the judiciary since her arrest in 2012, sat in the dock staring at the floor. Prosecutor Bobbie Cheema, QC, said: ‘Put very simply . . . Constance Briscoe helped a friend of hers, a woman called Vicky Pryce, to provide information to the media.’
