I beg to differ. If he gets found guilty the amount of money involved falls in to the custody bracket. You could probably draw a parity with the kind of sentences MPs have been getting for fiddling their expenses. The ones who went to trial used a similar defence as well that they were ignorant to the ins and outs of what was required. Some of those MPs also claimed health issues and never got their sentences suspended.
I also think this might just be the tip of the iceberg and other matters may come to the forefront on the back of this. It really seems a bit fishy that Peter Storrie was also charged in relation to this and yet there has been no mention of him. That usually indicates he may have pleaded guilty at an earlier hearing, so it'll be interesting to see how this pans out.
They take this seriously and Lester Piggott and ken Dodd who are similar age to harry went down.
pretty sure ken dodd was aquitted.
