I assume the logic was that over an oz couldn't be construed as intent to supply due to the wealth of the possessor.

But one could also assume that such a defence would not be afforded to a normal user caught with only coke and no paraphenalia of supply (scales etc).

"You're rich, therefore not a supplier, you other guys are poor, so must be suppliers." Assumption and defence based upon wealth, not law. Or, to put it another way, you may safely possess large amounts of class-A if you're rich, but not if you're poor.

Another small nail in the coffin of justice. No issue with the rich being let off, my issue is with normal people not being treated the same.

If you had enough money to buy your way out you would, they shouldn't have faced punishment for it anyway.

If the law was fair, poor people would get the same lawyers as rich people.

Rich people can buy a more favourable version of justice.

Life isnt fair, anyone who says it is, is living in dream world.

I'd love to hear what the CPS give as their reason for not prosecuting the tetra pak heir, while sending someone else down for 2 years.

Not that the excuse matters really. Bottom line is the rules dont apply to everyone. Its just not often that this fact is publicised.

Just think how fare it is when a rich person gets sued for the same remark to a female colleague as a normal person but the rich person pays thousands and the normal person just gets told to say sorry.

If I won the lottery I would use my dosh to get away with as much as I could. if i wascaught speeding i would use that loopwholw lawyer. if i got caught with my pants down in the car with a load of hot ladies i would use my dosh to either hush it up or advertise that i could get real women into my car without first hitting them with a spade.

Hmmmm Thinking
I'd have thought the opposite, but that's just my opinion you understand.

The logic would go, you're rich, therefore you could be rich by being a supplier therefore we'll treat you as such and seize your assets until you prove you're innocent.

I guess that you be the case for a wealth(ish) Joe/Jane Public without the heritage of the guy mentioned.

Again, as said, a sad reflection of the legal system.

"Atherton, aged 50, of Victoria Road, Heaton, has been charged with attempted rape, possession of drugs, false imprisonment and making threats to kill".

Not quite the same charges really.......

Yeah but you dont get Tetrapak rich by flogging an ounce of Chez, you'd need to be shipping kilos/tons for that kind of money. I know several people who were at one time or another involved in, lets say, non-taxable activities who did very well out of it, but really werent that well off, nor to they look like they possessed the money they did either.

ok which bit of the story do you think isnt true ?

In a twisted kind of way, the CPS decision almost makes sense in one way. If the major harm that drugs do, is the crimes users are willing to commit to buy the drugs, someone who has enough money to buy drugs without any need to ever commit crimes no matter how addicted they get, should be let off.

I dont actually agree with that, but its sort of a valid argument.

Cool. Next time I get done with drugs I'll claim that I was going to give them away for free and didn't intend to profit by my actions.

Thumbs Up
