What The Funicular?

After yesterday my prediction was 2 years, suspended on very stringent conditions, his main punishment being that he must live with what he has done for the rest of his life.
He will manage, but he will become a pariah too.

I don't know about becoming a pariah Chill. The scenes outside the court today from a large section of the crowds waiting to see him come out, seemed to border on adoration. Unbelievable.

Never underestimate the power of 'celebrity'.

So it would seem Andy. I admit I was shocked.

Granted he will have his supporters/followers, what I meant was he'll hary become the darling of the chat show circuit he once had the potential for.

[ChillDoubt]

Hary? Hardly even......

If you want to shoot erring partner, lock them behind solid door & shoot. Then claim you thought they were an intruder. The precedent is set!

JTH, even High Court Judge Willem Heath disputed this outcome.
