Re: Chris Huhne
Huhne and Pryce will have to pay the Prosecution's costs. The judge has adjourned the assessment of the amount to a future date. Additionally, ought there not to be some procedure to make wealthy prisoners pay the costs of their imprisonment?

Re: Chris Huhne
I can't any point in the imprisonment of Chris Huhne and his ex-wife . Certainly for Chris Huhne the personal consequences of his actions are more than punishment enough for his crime .
Neither are a threat to the public , so why imprison them ? Surely some alternative sentence would have been more fitting . Each week in the Accrington Observer I read of people who are a threat to the public , or at least are a darned nuisance to the public , but they appear to get off almost scot-free . The wrong people are being put behind bars , certainly in the Huhne case . |

It is interesting to note that because the sentence in less than 12 months it will not disbar him from his political aspirations. Talk about power and influence, eh? |
Re: Chris Huhne
the reason why they went to prison is because it was a very public case and something had to be seen to be done.If it hadnt been all over the news and press i doubt they would have gone to prison and walked away with a fine.
i suppose it gives the public the illusion that polititions arnt untouchable but so many of them are walking around free without even been charged for their crime of fraud over expenses.I forget the guys name but the guy whos decision it was to launch a criminal investigation into fraud over expenses is guilty of it himself so its no wonder he decided against it. |
Re: Chris Huhne
Accyman, I think you are right on that....and I think that CH thought it would all be swept under the carpet, and it might have been, if it had not been for the press pursuing the case.
It took the CPS ages to determine whether the case should go to court or not, which smacks of people in power trying to pull strings....if it were me or you then it would have been done and dusted quick sticks. |
