This has actually made my blood boil that he has got away with it. If it was random Joe Bloggs that had done all this we would have been sent away for years and surely wouldnt have been considered for drug rehabilitation center.
Whats everyones views on this? Surely everyone should be treated the same reguardless of how much money you have.
