My god I haven't a lot of time for the guy, but are people for real calling for a five year sentence!, what good is that going to do? prison is certainly not the place for drug addicts. I know it seems infuriating to see him constantly turn up late for court but this is certainly exacerbated by certain newspapers stirring up the public mood, do people honestly think he is enjoying his life at present? the guy is ill just because it is self inflicted it doesn't make the illness any less real. I wonder if people would have felt the same way about George Best who's addiction to alcohol was as chronic as this guys addiction to heroin, just because society says one is legal and the other isn't doesn't make the hell he is going through any less. I hope nobody here would have to go through this nightmare with a family member, because if they did it might make them a little more understanding.
