For someone found guilty of the offence he is being charged with, I'd settle for a reasonable length of Community service and a hefty fine.
(especially given even violent criminals aren't given custodial sentences these days)

If I could be sure he'd get sent down, I'd probably take a couple days off work just to watch the slimy little toad squirm in the dock. In reality, there's probably only an outside chance he'll get a suspended sentence if found guilty (which he certainly is). I won't be holding my breath, but you never know.

from what I have read, he is defiantly guilty
his wife was at a party in Lewisham at the time of the offence
And hopefully will get convicted (I think he prob will)
he has probably lied so much about this that he believes his own story now

Be interesting to see what his defence will be if it is already public knowledge that his wife was at a party miles away at the time she was supposed to be driving.

The interesting thing about this, is that although his (ex) wife has pleaded not guilty to the charges, she has done so on the grounds of marital coercion
The back story here is that huhne and his ex wife went through a very messy divorce
A women scorned - frightening
And hopefully he gets the book thrown at him and goes down in flames

Not really. He's been elected to represent the people of his constituency and is in a position of trust. He therefore should act in an honest fashion, and when, sorry IF, caught out lying in court should receive an appropriate sentence from the judge. It's in the publics interest that these sorts of people be pursued. The courts take a dim view of any 'normal' person found guilty of the same offence. Highly educated sorts, you could say the elite, should not be seen to be above the law.

Based on what, the judiciaries love of lying politicians?
I guarantee that you have no idea what the difference in punishment would be, so your 'guarantee' is just hogwash!

is wife was as at social gathering during the alledge offence, she would have loads of evidence to support this
