Vicky Pryce was not superwoman, but a real woman with real pressures who was pressured into taking her former husband, ex-MP Chris Huhne's speeding points, her lawyer said.
Pryce was bullied by her "ruthlessly ambitious" ex-husband when she had a "second's lapse" and signed a form agreeing to take his points in 2003, according to Julian Knowles, QC.
Pryce, 60, denies perverting the court of justice, claiming she was coerced by Huhne.
