hc4361, well done for posting that. I read the OP's link and immediately wondered what would have happened had the culprit been less wealthy. Now I know. How easy it is for the envious to claim one law for the rich, etc - and be taken seriously by the rest of the envious. Incidentally, I disagree with the decision in both instances.

I am incredibly rich, and object to being discriminated against.
However, I obey the law, and he didn't, so now he will be fresh meat for Abigail, the broken nosed cell mate.
Yummy!

[ummmm]

In these circumstances I don't think it's wealth envy at all (and I think a lot of that goes on) but how many average people would Mr Loophole have been able to get off if they could afford him?

[Mamyalynne]

It's clear from both links provided that both rich and not so rich get given delays in sentencing sometimes - I imagine it depends on so many variables as well as your lawyer.

[Theland]

A brown envelope stuffed with money works wonders for justice.

[Mamyalynne]

I presume you have no way of proving that in either of these cases?

[naomi24]

Ummmm, but the other bloke was dealt with similarly. I don’t see canary posting about that.

[hc4361]

You really believe that, Theland? Awww, how sweet

[ummmm]

He was, yes, and I don't think it's been the first time it's happened.

Money does talk though (but not in the way Theland thinks)

Money does talk. It’s always saying goodbye to me.
