'Confessions of an alcoholic' - Page 88:
To Bundy’s surprise when the court case came up for hearing, a Queens Counsel who was regarded as the highest authority for the defence represented the offender. Bundy packed the ‘shits’. He had to tell the truth about the evening and about his drinking and was giving his evidence under oath.
On the morning of the court hearing Bundy said silently to himself, if I get out of this jam, I’m definitely going to do something about my drinking.
He answered with honesty the questions asked by the defence counsel involving his drinking on the night including his state of intoxication at the time of interviewing his client. By telling the truth actually helped Bundy.
Bundy didn’t take any notice of his own advice. Not long after the court case, he was involved with another court hearing this time in the city. Herbert and Bundy were the investigating officers. After the court hearing, Bundy was happy to return home because the hearing had completed earlier than expected. Herbert had different ideas.
On their leaving the court hearing Herbert said to Bundy, ‘How much money have you got on you? My horse is racing this afternoon and the trainer thinks it can win.’
‘I haven’t got very much at all.’ Bundy replied.
‘We’ll have to stop at the bank and get some out before we get to the races.’ Herbert said.
That afternoon Bundy witnessed Herbert’s horse win a race at the price of 50 to 1. He won $2,000.00. He was overly excited and overjoyed with his win he suddenly forgot about going home. They stopped at a hotel on their journey home to have a drink and celebrate their winnings.
