FORMER Hamilton Accies star James McCarthy has been cleared of speeding after a police officer failed to identify him in court.
The Everton midfielder was on trial yesterday at Glasgow’s Justice of the Peace Court for allegedly driving at 42mph in a 30mph zone.
Prosecutors claimed McCarthy carried out the offence on September 27, 2013 at the Broomielaw.
But the second police witness was unable to identify McCarthy in court as the driver.
McCarthy, 25 was acquitted of the charge by JP David Meek.
