Ta mate, we'll put out regular updates...

[Wales]

can you put up a link to todays update. The buying weed & evading police segment!!

Tomorrows will be interesting as he's facing the prosecution tomorrow, oh yes, buying weed and evading the police helicopter the night before the robbery was what he admitted to the defence.

Aaron got 6 years.

He did indeed. Personally I think he was lucky to only get 6, especially after going not guilty, admitting evading police the night before after buying drugs, and continually claiming his innocence throughout.

Apparently his father, Mickey, went to a barristers in Manchester and went through the case with him. The Barrister said at the end "going on the evidence you've just given me he should be over the moon going not guilty and getting under 8 years". They didnt use that barrister, instead optiong for one from London... didn't do much help.

Daft barsteward, looked like he had talent, bit of an Amir Unsworth!!! heard about the circumstances months ago, didnt want to comment, needless to say he 'needed' the money!!

Just six years though, lucky boy!

Rumour on the grapevine is he still "needs" a fair wedge. Sure its bought some compassionate time though.

[thepocketrocket]

Yeah, a lot of things contribute to the sentence being a little shorter!!!!!

6 years is proper light for an armed blag, esp if you are the sort of person who the police follow round in helicopters, and then you waste the courts time and money by pleading not guilty to an open and shut case.
Clearly there are undisclosed contributing factors for this length of sentance

I have to clarify that these comments a purely second hand and I have no first hand knowledge!! They may or may not be factually incorrect
