Maybe it's ancient history as far as the PV community is concerned but I expect a few of us will gain a crumb of comfort from seeing our old friend in the dock today.

***************************
Press Association reports:
***************************

Former energy secretary Chris Huhne is expected to make his first appearance in court accused of perverting the course of justice.
Huhne is alleged to have asked his ex-wife Vicky Pryce to take his penalty points for a speeding offence almost a decade ago.
His car was allegedly caught by a speed camera on the motorway between Stansted Airport in Essex and London in March 2003.
Accusations of impropriety did not emerge until after the MP's 26-year marriage ended in 2010 as a result of his affair with PR adviser Carina Trimingham.
The Crown Prosecution Service announced the charge earlier this month, leading Huhne to step down from his role as energy and climate change secretary although he remains Liberal Democrat MP for Eastleigh in Hampshire.
Economist Pryce, who faces the same charge, will appear in the dock alongside her ex-husband at Westminster Magistrates Court in central London.
 
I hope his ex-wife does not get away with her 'marital coercion' defence.
It was her that shopped him iirc and she does not appeared to be the sort of person easily coerced.
 
Thing is if he got a prison sentence of less than 12 months he could still stay an MP anything more than 12 months he would have had to resign.
 
There is nothing wrong with comenting on a case that is all over the media.
Nothing that is going to predjudice the case is going to be discussed here.For my piece i think he is a scumbag and i hope he gets banged up
 
Seems a bit much to send the guy to prison for this, in my opinion.

While I agree that the man is clearly a massive peckerhead, if you were to lock up everyone in the country that tried to dodge a speeding fine and then lied about it you would have to make Scotland a penal colony.

its about setting an example

he's not "everyone in the country" he is an elected MP and if he was seen to be getting away with it, it would set a very bad president to Jo Public to fix speeding tickets
