News said last night that they can each expect to get 6 months in ye olde gaol (<<< if only). Whatever, a custodial is likely (allegedly).

I'll believe it when I hear it though................

Leslie

I wonder if she will get away without being jailed.

Serious offence or not, as I said, a bloke here just got done for PTCOJ and got a £1000 fine, no jail time.

mrmadcap

I remember reading about a case two or three years ago where a father took the points for his son and they both got sent down, obviously lost their jobs and everything.

cster

Well, tomorrow is the big day.
Judge should be in his element summing up these two w*nkers.
I reckon he'll get three months in the big house and she'll get four.
Any other crystal ball gazers out there?

Suspended sentences, 1 year each.
And large fines.

scoobynutta555

They'll both get custodial sentence of over 6 months, hers will be longer than his. Judging by his taste in women he should never be let out.

He'll get a suspended and she'll go down..... after all she isn't a politician

jods

I will watch with interest. Hopefully they both get a stretch in chockey.

dpb

I'll have 3 months each way

cster

ps Plus he'll get 3 points.

David Lock

CPS will have had a word in judge's shell like about the £100k wasted when Huhne pleaded not guilty to start with. So he could end up with a BIG fine.

I almost felt sorry for the ex but then I came to my senses

Waste of taxpayers money sending the likes of this pair to prison. Massive fines for both is the way to go although this is probably limited.

They are worth a few bob so let's just fine them and get some money back into the pot.

My guess -

Him - 12 months. 10% reduction for pleading guilty. Will only serve a third of it so will be out in less than 4 months. He'll also be clobbered for full costs, £100k+

Her - 6 months. No reduction and well serve 2 months.

The problem for Huhne is that although he did plead guilty, which should count for him

He only did so when he ran out of road so to speak

Contrary to his public pronouncements of being glad to have the opportunity for his day in court to defend himself and prove his innocence

He vigorously and actively fought (behind the scenes in legal argument) to have the whole case dismissed, right up until the Sunday night before the trial start date - and this tactic was comprehensively demolished by the trial Judge - who must be feeling vindicated

It was only when this failed, and a court appearance beckoned, he fessed up

Although Miss Pryce fought to the end, I think the only thing that may stop her going to prision is the “children” issue

No sentence before 4:30, apparently.

ReallyReallyGoodMeat

I have a question: Why does the jury hand down the guilty/innocent verdict, but the judge hand out the sentence? Surely a judge can hand out a sentence completely at odds with the jury's understanding of the events if he disagrees with them.

douglasb

Both get 8 months inside.

alcazar

iTrader: (2)

Eight months each

He was more culpable, but got a reduction due to a guilty plea.

Surprised me........

RA Dunk

So how long will they actually serve then as everybody knows nobody actually serves a full sentence, which is a bit ******* pointless really?

cster

Sounds fair enough - what a bl**dy stupid cow.
As they say, if you are going to seek revenge - dig two graves.

richie001

3 to 4 months

dpb

I was right then,what do I win.

RA Dunk

That it?

Well I am quite surprised at that. Really thought he may not get sent down. Still they'll be out in a few minths and what happens to the £100K bill he has caused to be run up?

dpb

Somehow I doubt this one has a book in 'im

Martin2005

I see a few folk on here 'hit it out the park' (yet again) with their predictions on this one. A few choice quotes from the SN know-it-alls'

'Yeah, yeah....and what will he get? Small fine and costs he will charge to the taxpayer?'

'Imprisonment? No chance.....'

Alcazar

'I can guarantee that he will get less of a punishment if you or I committed the same offence.'

Richs2891

'So come on, you politics watchers...why hasn't he been sentenced yet?

They waiting for the furore to die before quietly letting him off?'

Alcazar

"until a later date", means, "these are rich and famous people who deserve to be sentenced out of the public eye so we can quietly let them off...."

Alcazar


'I'd have a tenner with anyone that they only get suspended sentences and fines...'

Telboy (at least you put your money where your mouth is)

'He'll get a suspended and she'll go down..... after all she isn't a politician'

F1Fan

'Ooooh, Martin, you're so forceful, so forward, so.......manly.......I'm almost taken in.'

Alcazar (I just like this quote for it accuracy)

c_maguire

She is a complete pr#t, and had it coming. Her vindictive pettiness has put them both inside.
The original offence (67 in a 50) is so trivial the end result is almost funny, and a decent lawyer would have probably had the original NIP dismissed.
The message being put about now that suggests this will stop others offloading their points onto relatives etc as they will now realise the severity of the crime they are committing is also laughable, as the only reason he (and she) is going inside is because she grassed him up and he kept denying it.
If I thought I might lose my license I'd consider it, I'd just make damn sure I didn't offload them to a female.
