Pete Doherty Is FINALLY Going to Jail
April 9th 2008 07:36
Finally it seems as though Pete is getting a slap on the wrist for all his drug arrests!
After one or two (or about 20!) run-ins with the law, Pete Doherty has FINALLY been sentenced to prison. Below is a brief timeline outlining Pete's trouble with the law to date. As a result of this past history and Pete's repeated failures at rehab, as well as his failure to follow the terms of his probation, Pete is going to spend........wait for it..........14 weeks in jail!!!
Holy shit! Paris Hilton spent 3 weeks in prison for driving without a licence (something Peter has been guilty of before too - see below).
Pete's Troubles With The Law

April 2008 - Pete violates the terms of terms of his probation when he misses a meeting with his probation team. He is ordered to spend 14 weeks in jail.
Seriously, I think that the London courts should be pleased with themselves. They've really shown that noone is above the law. If you get caught with drugs.......you will pay..............but only if you get caught 40 or 50 times.
You know, is it just me, or do the rest of you really want to send Pete on a holiday to Singapore, Bali or Thailand???? That'd show the retard.
