pfff....six months and a bit of litter picking? sentence should have been harsher. that's the problem with this society you can do some pretty horrific things and get a slap on the wrist. my son was mugged of his bike but the police refused to press charges as the bloke had mental health problems (before anyone starts, i am a psych nurse). so, threatening behaviour, abh and theft means no punishment. drf - its good that the case turned out they way it did, but i say he should have got 3-4 years for that kind of offence(pi$$ed or not - i've never done anything like that when i'm pickled!). much love x
