And to think I was sticking up for you, well I'm not now.
You're so rude.

You’re right of course.

But your point is conspicuously wrong. Famous people tend to get more serious sentences when handed down by the crown court than those who are not, Adam Johnson being a case in point. I accept it’s rarer for them to be convicted, partly because they can pay for the best legal representation, but once convicted, the notion that they get an easy ride from sentencing judges in the crown court (magistrates are arguably different) is simply and demonstrably wrong. The courts have an instinct to make an example of people in the public eye, to send a message out. Why would a judge give a famous person an easy ride because they were famous? Especially one subject to reduced circumstances? They are at the heart of the establishment and their primary function is to maintain and uphold the rule of law, as well as the status quo. How does giving a bankrupt German tennis player an easy ride when sentencing him accord with that function? It doesn’t make sense.

You or I would have got a similar sentence for this offence. The fact you stated that a ‘normal’ person would get more than the statutory maximum was an utterly shit point, which demonstrates your lack of knowledge around the subject despite your Billy Big Bollocks words.

Find me a criminal lawyer or barrister that charges those fees and I will have them any day no matter their prosecution skill set.

I recently was advocate for a 70 year old pensioner who had a civil case as defendant against a brother who had zero chance in fact had previously had his claims for compensation in the selling of a property of an estate the only asset in the estate chucked out by the court on a previous occasion only to have it reinstated on a technicality you know the brother who will destroy an estate with totally unnecessary legal fees because he wants the brother to end up with nothing after he lies his way to obtain sole executor of the estate status having a dud of a judge who doesn't care remove the defendant for no justifiable reason in the first place because he loathes him and loathed his father and mother etc , and unsurprisingly his own solicitor wanted him to pay his psycho brother 55k for his efforts on mediation day.

As for GDM its the M that gives him away but he is legally correct and of course different judges rule differently in terms of sentence on the same matter just like two different agents will get two different prices on the same house at the same time often from the same buyer but its highly unlikely a celeb will get more than the punter on the same charge from the same judge otherwise that judge should and will eventually come under deserved scrutiny with the move to remove them from their post.

You think sending him to prison is the answer to his creditors’ woes?

No absolutely not. His creditors just want their money back I would imagine, however he has dragged it to this point. If he is hiding assets and realistically you as a creditor have very few options. Ideally you are hoping that the threat of prison gets him to behave.

At least his £6 million Spanish property can now be seized and sold off to give his creditors something
