Chris Lewis charged with drug smuggling

[Craig]

'tis about right actually - the judge clearly hated him but anything more than 13 would be getting into the realms of the potentially appealable - assuming he's of good character of course.

Perhaps the judge didn't rate him as a cricketer?

 

[SpaceMonkey]

10 years of that is probably for crimes against English cricket.

But yeah, he guy is scum. Hard drugs like this ruin lives, both in how they are consumed and manufactured / trafficed. I hope the 13 years (or whatever he serves of it) go extremely slowly for him indeed.

 

[fredfertang]

He'll be released on licence after 6.5 years - less the time he's been on remand

 

[GIMH]

That's assuming he's behaving himself, though, isn't it?

 

[fredfertang]

No he's entitled to be released on license then - although if he behaved badly enough he might pick up some extra days in disciplinary adjudications

 

[zaremba]

Any chance of an earlier release than that, fred? (it's been a while since I've done crime).

It does sound quite a stiff sentence. to me, I have to say, particularly when compared with average sentences for serious ***ual offences. Of course his life now is completely screwed, however long he spends inside, and his reputation is now as repellant as Shoaib Akhtar's jockstrap.

Absent any chicanery I believe not Mr Z

Wow can't believe this 4kgs ...

Good old Chris released from prison having served 6 years of a 13 year sentence. If he'd shot his girlfriend he'd have been out years ago.

Though TBF, it's ridiculously common among many types. I just cannot understand it. I made the decision at the age of 6 or 7 years old that I was never touching the stuff (or heroin, LSD, speed etc. either) and I've never wavered from that. Why anyone would want to is simply beyond me.

Classic Richard.

I can understand the reluctance towards brussell sprouts, but a bit harsh to bracket with them with class A drugs.

And then later on page 1, he admits to using E.... guess he gave himself a free pass on ecstasy when he was writing up his rules as a 6/7-year-old.

 

[fredfertang]

He appears not to have ruled out ketamine either

 

[dontcloseyoureyes]

All life decisions made at the mature age of 6 are well thought out.

Some might say that once you get your first chance to make a decision, that should dictate what you do forevermore.

Chris Lewis, an old England team mate if mine, is released from prison today. A fundamentally good guy, I wish him well

That's so bad, it's good. Unlike the infamous Youtube video of Dicko and Piper, which was so bad, it was awful.

at the age of 6, i made the decision i was the batman and that HHH was a ****
