Doubt he will get any-thing near that tbh...not that he doesn't deserve it in my view..however I do not think it will be any-thing over 12 months.

i'm sure his brief will come up with good references from noble,uncle kath,auntie gary,etc,etc

Usually suspend sentances for a year. Reckon he'll escape a custodial and receive a whopping fine.

He'll get some credit for the guilty plea, but it won't be too much as it's not necessarily at the earliest opportunity in the process, but I'll seek advice and post later.

Does vindicate the decision to release him though imo - imagine if we'd lost him now in this injury crisis.

agar would have had some kind of excuse!!

It was a 6 month term, suspended for 18 months

Ah, someone's in bother then!

The other case is for a different crime and the two are not connected in anyway.
He has not been held on remand and I still reckon he has struck a deal with the CPS and will cop a bender. The other way would have dragged on for months if ........ the CPS had the funds to proceed. Pleading guilty gets rid of all this and the CPS will have saved oodles of dosh and get a result and at the end of the day that is the way this all works.

The prisons are full of people at the moment as well and I do mean full, would a prison sentence serve the public any good. I doubt that I really do a bloke who was fiddling his ebay account with dodgy bids to boost prices will get a £30K fine soon. I see this as no different its hardy the crime of the century, in fact its a bit petty and none too bright.

I would sooner courts stuck to putting people inside prison who need to be there, the law is there to correct, protect and punish offenders we do not live in the dark ages anymore.

Its spent now

Ah...he will walk then
