'Spect he changed his plea, on advice from his brief, in the hopes of a lighter sentence.

Even lawyers know when they are beaten.

Quote
Chaytor, a former lecturer who is married and has three children, faces up to seven years in jail but his guilty pleas mean the judge can reduce his sentence by a third. In September this year, Andrew Gibson, 49, a House of Commons budget officer, was jailed for nine months for siphoning off nearly £6,000 in fake MPs' expenses.

We shall see.

18 months! There's a result!


Sets a bench mark for those who have yet to be tried/sentenced.
Works out at about a month for every £1,000 he thought he had got away with.

But there is always another one to fill the gap.

Indeed ~ unfortunately they'll probably move him to a lower category prison in a few weeks and no doubt he will be out in 9 to 12 months but the point has been made ....






Oh and I like the sound of this bit too

Chaytor now faces a large legal bill for both his defence and the costs of bringing the prosecution against him.
