The trial of Adam Johnson (part 2)

We've been talking about it all ****ing morning man.

 

Yeah, but through your guilt of harbouring a peado, you have been avoiding the real thread, so I thought I'd bring it to your attention. No need to thank me.

 

Who's harbouring a ***** then?

 

don't think Billy was harbouring him

i think he must think you have had Adam Johnson in hiding at your house lol.

 

Sentenced to 6 years.

 

And stripped of England caps

 

Only gets a 10% reduction as well, so he has to serve at least 5 and half years before he is released. No early release for good behaviour.

 

Somebody was saying the judge said he has to serve a minimum of 3 years?

This is being discussed on the striped pyjamas thread fyi.

 

I think the length and severity of sentence is influenced by the fact he didn't plead guilty from the start

 

Absolutely.

 

I see the judge also mentioned a breach of trust. Johnson certainly ticked all the right boxes for the longest sentence possible.

I doubt taking the piss out of the court was appreciated either, the stupid thick ****er.

 

Good day for the justice system, it'll teach the little bastard a lesson.

 

He'll quickly lose the smile when the reality of prison life sets in.
He was smiling in court today apparently.

 

How does that work? If they still receive physical caps, they can ask for them to be returned, but they can't re-write history and pretend he never played.

As for the "supporting a *****" argument, it's hardly valid, Bramble and Remy played for us when they were under suspicion of rape, if they'd been found guilty we wouldn't have been guilty of condoning their actions.

 

I agree with that. By all means, punish him for what he did two years ago, but punishing him.five years ago for what he did two years ago is bloody nonsense. He won those caps before committing the crime, and in my view, they should stand.

 

That's the time he will serve behind bars
3 years
The other 3 on licence

 

That's not correct

 

Yeah, I read after I posted that - He'll serve a minimum of three. He's also appealing the verdict.

 

That's correct

 

Hey Vinnie, you not fancy extending a bit? You could do a dirty protest in his scrambled eggs
