what sentence do you think the 'canoe' couple will get? been following this closely, the wife seems to have been a very good actor! strange that the police didnt look more closely at their debts!

Not really been following it but here's the results of some other insurance deception cases from the CPS

They vary quite widely - obviously it's made worse by the large search for him - I'd guess 4-5 years

Probably not far off the truth, Tetjam, even down to who will play them!

[andy-hughes]

They will certainly be more harshly punished for their financial crimes than they would be if they had murdered someone - that's the way our 'justice' system works.

Set them adrift in a canoe , in the bay Of Biscay , with a couple of teaspoons for paddles

as this was about money theyll get a hefty sentence, they should have killed someone and they would be out in no time !
