Clifford guilty

[SueEllen]

He probably knows that the prisons are so bursting at the seams, that they ain't gonna keep a 75 year old locked up for a single day longer than they absolutely need to.

In fact don't be surprised if he's let out earlier than that - even without an appeal

Every now and then they keep someone rich and well-known in as an example.

After all like with the perjury cases those involved in the criminal justice system have to pretend that the law is not only for "little" people.

Edited to say: He will get let out earlier but not as early as if he admits it.

Yes, but once the headlines have gone away - they let them out. Chris Huhne & Vicky Pryce were both quietly released significantly early - way before the halfway point in their sentence.

More women coming forward, so he is likely to do more time than the original sentence.

[minestrone]

Huhne & Pryce was a 'victimless' crime, he will do 4 years unless he contracts some serious medical condition. They won't reduce it on appeal either.

[OwlHoot]

Mind you, he'll have a cushy time inside as they've lined up a small private prison just for him

This is why i'm astounded he went down in the first place. Imagine the tulip he's got up his sleeve...
