Probably NOT ...Originally Posted by gWaPito
Their lifetime criminal records won't affect their earning capabilities.... it wouldn't surprise me in the least if they join those two grinning
Geordies, Ant & Dec on their inane Aussie Jungle show, 'Im A Celebrity, Get Me out of Here!'.
......................... *Probably NOT ...! Omg ... I'm beginning to think like Dedworth!
Good news! The court is having none of it. .They want them to carry the can and take full responsibility for their actions.......................... *
Prosecutors have rejected the guilty pleas of two women caught trying to smuggle 11kg of cocaine out of Peru in their luggage.
Michaella McCollum, 20, from County Tyrone, Northern Ireland, and Melissa Reid, 20, from Glasgow, pleaded guilty on Tuesday behind closed doors when they appeared before a judge in Callao, near the capital Lima.
Prosecutors have asked for more information before accepting their admissions of guilt, which the women hope will reduce their sentences from a minimum eight years down to six years and eight months without the chance of parole.
I do not know how the legal process works in Peru, but if that happened in UK it would be an indication that the prosecution, and or the judge, were doubtful that they were in fact guilty.
In UK if a person pleads guilty but in their mitigation they say anything which amounts to a doubt that they are are in fact guilty, for example if they said they were forced to commit the crime, their plea would be changed to Not Guilty.
I am not saying what the situation is in Peru as I am not in possession of the full facts, just those 'bits and pieces' I have read in the newspapers, (newspapers who are trying to sell more newspapers!)
... now you're thinking like Dedworth!
Most of us on here, like Ded are good decent law abiding citizens who likes to see justice being done, fair and square.
LM rightly said, what would of happened if they'd got away with it got to the streets.
I say countless thousands of lives would of been ruined all because of a selfish act of greed.
I don't think for one moment they were addicted themselves. They certainly didn't show any signs...and I'm sure the press wld of picked up on it if they were.
......................... *Nothing wrong with that.
Start worrying when you start thinking like me though
