I wonder if they were tears of remorse or indignation......
I do have some sympathy for him and his fellow jailbirds, however, since certain lordly snouts in the "Upper House's" much abused trough seem to have got off very lightly indeed.....

Re: DPP charges politicians on expenses fraud
As one expenses cheat is convicted another is released after serving less than 1/3 of his sentence:
Quote:
Former MP David Chaytor has been released from jail after serving almost a third of his 18-month prison sentence for fiddling his expenses.

For someone with quite a legal brain, apparently, he seems to have had some issues differentiating between the basics of right and wrong.

Southwark Crown Court heard he claimed travel costs between his Oxford home and Westminster, as well as subsistence for staying in London.

He'll be out in about 4 months no doubt.....

Re: DPP charges politicians on expenses fraud
At least we now know why they made prison life easier and set up numerous early release schemes in the last few years!
