His mothers just been on the news bleating about it.

Not sure ive got any sympathys if im honest,

[Puggit]

Moron!

[JulianHJ]

Well-deserved.

[SC7]

Looks like the animals at the young offenders' institute have a new bh for Christmas.

Serves him right, the .

[ExChrispy Porker]

His boyfriend should have kept his mouth shut.

[cossy400]

Seein as we're all pretty much in agreement then, i take it we all agree it should of been longer because i doubt he ll serve 2 weeks.

I reckon a month minimum and thats just for claiming to be sick. Skiving specimen

[s3fella]

Why should anyone have to be tried by such a complete and utter useless ?
Fundamental flaw with the justice system in this country.

There are plenty of real criminals and thugs that would be better suited in prison, IMHO.

[Victor McDade]

What a moron. However, I think the sentence is harsh. Community service and a fine would be more appropriate as well as being cheaper for the taxpayer.

[MR Kirbyz]

Bit harsh imho.
I dont really understand the whole logistics if you will of jury duty. However, i assume he will get a criminal record for this which could in theory affect his whole life.
While i agree he should be punished the fact that he gets sent to young offenders, where as if he commited an actual serious crime he probably could of got away with it

[king arthur]

Absolutely no sympathy whatsoever.

[Pints]

I heard about this today. He deserved what he got.

[englisharcher]

He lied to a court, has a criminal record, needs mummy to hold his hand, and goes to london shows without his boyfriend, sounds like a politician to me

The only thing that bothers me is that others have got much less for far worse.

That then is the fault of whoever sentenced them. Why should too lenient sentencing by another judge affect what happens to this man?

Why not impose strict guidelines on sentencing? Two weeks jail for skiving jury service vs. avoiding jail after serial burglary and/or ABH/GBH, it doesn't compute.

Or just bin the judges making stupid decisions.

Jail time for this sort of thing is dumb. Get some free hard community labour out them, a fine and criminal record. Job done.

Save prison for the people who are a genuine menace to society.
