I’m sure Rianne has learnt her lesson and will turn up for the unpaid work this time.
The screws are tightened slowly, and it is made clear there is no wriggle room. You don’t want to go for the nuclear option at the first bump in the road.
I wouldn’t bet on it.
i’m sure it’s not easy to find time working around your 15 feral brats and dole appointments
if these scum don’t comply with the first order why give them another, just jail them, as for drink drivers drug drivers and disqualified drivers they should be banned for life.
Concurrent sentences are a waste of time and money, they should be made made to serve consecutive sentences and all prisoners should serve the full term of their sentences and not get let out half way through.
deducted from benefits!! so there’s 2 fines the taxpayer are paying
The judge calling Reece Judge ‘Mr Judge’, brilliant!
I thought drink drive brought about a minimum 12 month ban!!!
Not a custodial sentence it’s a joke
So Andrew James Blair has been told to attend a “6-month alcohol treatment programme requirement”.
How can someone like this get such an alcohol treatment program handed to them on a platter when someone like myself had to wait for 6 months when it was ME who reached out to the local services for help with my addiction.
It seems the only way to get treatment from anywhere is if you commit crime and then the judge will just push you to the front of the queue.
