Jones avoided jail after a judge decided to give her a chance to 'break her cycle of alcohol abuse.'
But last August Jones was on a drunken night out with friends when she got involved in a bust up with a group of people.*sighs*
In mitigation defence lawyer Laura Barbour said : 'She began drinking alcohol when she was eight.
'Drink is something that's been a feature not only in her her adult life - but the majority of her life.'
She said Jones had tried very hard to fight her addiction.If 'trying very hard' means 'carrying on as normal', then yes, you're right. She has.
Still, she won't get off so lightly this ti...
Jones was given eight weeks in custody, suspended for a year, to run consecutively to her previous suspended sentence of 44 weeks in prison suspended for two years.*bangs head on desk*
Yes, I'm desperately trying to break my cycle of alcohol abuse too - really giving this whisky bottle a total thrashing!
ReplyDeleteTo be fair, being incarcerated doesn't necessarily mean she will be off the hooch. I hear tell they brew a nice, smooth, slow (sic) gin in Holloway. Tis a cheeky little number and leaves the enamel on your teeth intact (hic).
ReplyDeleteA whip-round by locals to hire a gang to beat her to within an inch of her life would seem to be indicated.
ReplyDeleteAnd not just in her case, either. Call it informal policing. It works.
She likes drinking more than anything else. Give her the contents of the magistrate's booze collection, then let her sleep it off in his house.

In place of institutionalized justice, yes.
