Today at Blackfriars Crown Court, a defendant was found guilty of endangering the safety of an aircraft in flight. He had been targetting the Met Police helicopter with a green laser and has been given a 12 month sentence.:ok:

This is indeed good news, but why does one scrote get 12 months and another only 6 months :confused:

I guess because he admitted it when the cops went to his house and pleaded guilty at court. Also the newspaper report says he was a young offender.
The other one pleaded not guilty, had a trial and got convicted.
