RIP - Hadrian’s wall tree

[No Ta Doctor]

It definitely didn't feel like their defence was rooted in reality.

 

[Dogtrousers]

The earliest possible guilty plea gets a defendant one-third off the sentence that would have been handed down at a trial.

They were probably told but they just didn't cedar light.

Probably thought they’d be pine

Not really had thye reached a verdict yesterday would have been back at work today. By reaching a verdict after 20 mins tis morning they got to have some more HMCS coffee and biscuits and an early start to the weekend

Fair point well made

Also, it's a Friday, so it'll mean they can get to the pub earlier!

Both Guilty - unanimous verdict.

take them down! - well sentencing will be later.....

I dunno about gaol time, how much is the 'damages' claim for, north of £600k i'd heard

I can’t imagine why they aren’t going to be sentenced until July. Found guilty, sentencing guidelines will be in place. I don’t know if they have been remanded in custody, but assume not as the BBCs news website doesn’t state it.

Just another opportunity for the lawyers to bill another day.

They've been remanded for their own protection, Graham has been in custody since December.

Don't they need a mental health assessment as well

conclusion - they are morons

Yes, well they could easily do themselves a mischief cutting down large trees in the dark during storms.

It's already been mentioned that Graham is having one: it will take 6 weeks to prepare. They'll have to go down some kind of coercion route with that if they do.

I don't think this pair are on each others Christmas card list any more. The whole thing is a pretty sad really.

We had someone in last week to do some weeding.

Pre-Sentencie Reports have been a thing since 1991, prepared by the Probation Service, not by the defence or prosecution.

For obvious reasons, the process of compiling them doesn't start until and unless a guilty verdict is delivered.

I’ll be hiring a log splitter and then seasoning it for a year or so.

If you have space and you regularly burn wood, buy a log splitter. Couple of hundred quid and you'll get one that will eat that up
