| Post subject: | Pete Doherty Spared Jail - again |
Doherty Is Spared Jail Babyshambles singer Pete Doherty has been fined £770 and disqualified from driving for four months. The former Libertines star, on-off boyfriend of model Kate Moss, was sentenced at Thames Magistrates Court for seven charges of drug possession. He had previously pleaded guilty to possessing crack cocaine, heroin and cannabis. The charges related to three separate arrests, two in April and one in August. There had been speculation that he would be given a jail term but magistrates decided against it. Sentencing him, District Judge Jane McIvor told him the offences were not serious enough to merit a custodial sentence. The singer, a self-confessed drug addict, has been in rehab for several months. His lawyers had argued that he should be spared jail on the grounds that he would be exposed to more drugs in prison and his rehabilitation would be in jeopardy. Doherty has spent time at The Priory in London. He was previously imprisoned for burgling then Libertines bandmate Carl Barat's flat. Sky |

Thank you and goodnight Doherty's Latest Comeback PETE DOHERTY: Live! It’s another day in the life of the hardest working man in pop. No sooner has the hammer fallen and the judgements pronounced on one of Doherty’s shows than he’s back before an audience of his peers. “Hello, Thames Magistrates’ Court,” says the singer. Doherty’s back at the scene of his greatest triumphs. “Today I appear before you on a charge of being in possession of crack cocaine [Yeah!], heroin [Like it is!] and cannabis [Play it, baby, play it!].” Not for Doherty anything new and confusing. He knows what they have come to see and hear. And like an old stager he just keeps the hits coming. The crowd goes wild. As does Peter. The Star says “PETE GOES BANANAS”, and spots the singer holding one of the curved yellow fruits. Doherty and fruit? What madness is this? Next the papers will be telling us that he’s checked into London’s Malmaison hotel and smashed his room up. Indeed, a source at a hotel of just that name tells us: “The man is an animal [see banana] – he left the room looking worse than a war zone.” The spokesman goes on: “There’s evidence that he took drugs, the carpet’s wrecked, there are smashed up bottles everywhere and the place is covered in blood.” It’s less a hotel room than it is a Pete Doherty installation. The man is an artist. But what do the critics say? Ooer! They’ve fined Doherty £770 and banned him from driving for three months. But not to worry. He might get another chance to impress should the hoteliers press charges. See you soon, Pete. See you in court... anorak |
