Getting away with it

[steveo]

Could the judge in the Margaret Moran case, Justice Saunders, be related to the only man to recover from Alzheimer's Ernest Saunders?

I was just thinking the very same thing myself, only got ill once she'd ben caught, probably thought she was queen of the castle before then though but

The judge was bound by the rules of sentencing and I think his comments were meant to indicate that he had his doubts but could do nothing about a possibly faked illness.

Agree tho' that she has "got away with it" - other MPs have been jailed for the same offence and non MPs found guilty of deliberate and repeated defraud of their company (let alone the taxpayer) to the tune of ?53,000 would probably face the full force of the law and a maximum sentence.

awful woman. I do have some sympathy if she is truly wiped out by her mental issues, but the bitter cynic in me refuses to accept that this is entirely genuine. See Peter Young, the ex MG fundy fraudster and his cavalcade of OTT issues that ensured he wasnt fit to stand trial.
