I thought this was going to be quietly dropped...
... but I was wrong.
Chris Huhne to stand trial over speeding points on Monday. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/ukne...on-Monday.html |
...charged in February last year with perverting the course of justice, an offence that carries a maximum sentence of life imprisonment |
Yeah, yeah....and what will he get? Small fine and costs he will charge to the taxpayer?
Imprisonment? No chance..... |
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) |
Please, please ,please be guilty! He'd then have to resign his seat as well!
|
Not gonna happen then......
|
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 |
I don't know the finer details of the case but how do you know he's certainly guilty mark?
Edit: Just saw hodgy reply answering that |
I can guarantee that he will get less of a punishment if you or I committed the same offence.

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.
|
If guilty he will go down "as an example".
His ex will also be done. Clegg must be very pleased dl |
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 |
Waste of public money. i'm sure a few on here have done the same. ;)
|
Wasn't Archer sent down for perverting the course?
Judges do take it seriously..... |
Yep and Jonathan Aitken
They do take it seriously, I think there is a better than evens chance he will go down |

Richard 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! |

He's changed his pleas to guilty, didn't see that one coming!
|
inevitable -- he was guilty
everyone new it is wife was as at social gathering during the alledge offence, she would have loads of evidence to support this they just convince themsevles they are innocent -- hubris at work |
