It might be tricky to justify. Equal culpability and he did plead guilty, albeit late. |

He only pleaded guilty having wasted a whole bunch of the court's time in trying unsuccessfully to get the case thrown out. It wasn't quite the full and frank admission it might have been plus hadn't he spent years bagging CPS etc.

Reading the emails between her and Isabel Oakeshott, I'm surprised it even took that long to come up with a guilty verdict. They seem pretty damning.

True, but Judges are meant to reward guilty pleas even if late or "caught red handed". As an example, Mrs Canoe Man received a longer sentence than her hubby. |

I seriously doubt that one, especially as the CPS are now looking to hit him with £120k costs for rebutting his attempt to get the case thrown out. |

Early guilty pleas can be rewarded. Huhne's will not be, I suspect, as it wasn't early, and followed several attempts to have the case thrown out completely. The CPS are rightly going to ask for costs |

The position is generally 1/3 off for an early guilty plea at the first reasonable opportunity. It then goes on a sliding scale. For example, 1/4 after a trial date is set.
You can still get 10% at the door of the court or after a trial has commenced. Which is possibly what Huhne will get. |

I doubt he will get much credit. But it should be just enough to stop him from getting a more severe sentence than his wife, as was suggested. |

The Huhne & Pryce sentencing hearing will probably last longer than the time they receive

So effectively he gets 7 months, will serve 50% of that and then will probably be out even earlier on a tag. I doubt he'll do much more than 6 weeks, after his time in court and attending police bail and interviews. She won't be too far behind.
I've just seen her "overnight bag". I've taken less luggage on a fortnight's holiday.
