Yahoo reports that Pete Doherty has avoided prison. Again.
Pete Doherty smiled and hugged fans outside court Monday after a judge ruled he will not serve jail time for possession of drugs including heroin and crack cocaine.
District Judge Jane McIvor ordered the 27-year-old Babyshambles singer to pay $1,525 in fines and court costs and ordered him not to drive for four months.
The singer was arrested in April for possession of less than 2 grams each of heroin, cannabis and cocaine, just three hours after he was sentenced to two years of community service for previous drug offenses. The drugs were found in the vehicle he was in and at his home.
“He’s not going to jail. It’s amazing,” said 16-year-old fan Georgina Raymond, who jumped up and down screaming into her cell phone, “I hugged him!”
You hugged him and I bet vials of coke, bricks of hash, and several dimebags fell out in a cloud of crack dust. This man is made of drugs. What’s with the British legal system? Does Pete or Kate have pictures of the judge diddling kids or something? I could probably set up a meth lab outside of the courtroom and lodge a complaint about all the gavel-banging noise while I’m trying to mix my drugs, damnit.

how does this person do it? I use the term “Person” lightly.
I can’t get it, I punch a driver in the face, I get six months, he is caught with drugs loads of times and manages to stay out of prison.
Well okay he is not going to prison, perhaps he might overdose, one can only hope.
