This apparently short sentence would reflect the mitigating features from a Pre-Sentece Report and a third off for the early guilty plea.. .. .She will serve two months under the automatic release scheme and then allowed out on licence.. .. .MP

Very good news, happy to read it, thank you NW!. .Hope it gets a lot of publicity.. .. .Don't fly the 757 but probably plug type doors there as well, so the "endangering" bit not all that acute.. .The fear she must have inspired in the other pax was pretty horrific no doubt, and thoughts go to the colleagues who had to deal with this crazed dope-head! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Mad]" src="mad.gif" /> . .. .Well done the British judicial system!!
