Should Berahino get a lengthy jail sentence? on 11:14 - Nov 25 with 2594 views | Pegojack | I have to agree with the OP. And let's not get hung up on whether he should be out at 3.30am as a professional footballer, blah, blah, blah. The fact that he is drink driving and speeding, risking his life and every other road user is the key point here. Highly irresponsible, and there is absolutely no excuse for a guy who earns an astronomical salary and could easily have hired a taxi for the journey, even if it had cost him several hundred pounds - that's chicken feed to him. | | | |

What is the usual punishment for this? A heavy fine and a long ban? When it comes to fines, isn't it a time the figure was replaced by a percentage, or have they already done that? If not, a 10% (of monthly income) fine makes more sense than, say, £300. The 300 would be a lot to most of us, but not to a Premier player. But 10% of Berahino's income would be huge, possibly around £10,000. That will make even a premier league star think twice. I also believe in escalalating scales. You double the punishment. In the case of non custodial senetences, at the third offence you go to prison. But I couldn't advocate a stronger punishment for Berahino simply because he's a pro footballer. The law should apply equally to everyone. As we have seen though, it rarely does. My nephew went to prison after getting caught up in a fight in town, he was defending a friend who got attacked and he knocked the other fella out. It was his first offence but he got 12 weeks. Then you see people with many convictions, long rap sheets, get community service! Is that fair? | |

Should Berahino get a lengthy jail sentence? on 11:41 - Nov 25 with 2546 views | Dewi1jack | Many countries have an automatic jail term, ranging from 10 days upwards, as well as rehab/ driving courses required to get a licence back. I have no clue as to what would happen to a drunk driver in a country where alcohol is banned, but I'm guessing that it really becomes a serious offence (depending on who the person is, I s'pose.) I am fairly sure that Berahino can be jailed for the offences committed anyway. Will the magistrate/ Judge do so? With the aggravating circumstances (excess speed and alcohol) if I remember, it is possible for up to a 2 year sentence Doubtful he'll get jail though. The bench will probably wimp out 'cos Berahino will turn up with a top notch barrister, who'll run rings around them. Possibly it's about time the Police started adding the offence of dangerous driving for offences such as this, not just for footballers but everyone. make the Bench treat everyone the same, as well as stop plod from making paperwork mistakes allowing anyone to get off So to answer the OP, yes. Not because it's a footballer/ "celebrity" but everyone should face at least a few days jail time for drink/ drugged driving. May just deter one or 2 from driving under the influence and stop innocent people and their families from being hurt or killed. | |

Somebody shouldn't have to get killed for the offence to be properly punished. Working in an environment where we often see the negative effects of actions such as his makes me wonder how the hell anyone can be so selfish and utterly stupid. | | | | Login to get fewer ads

I think you'll find both speeding and drink driving are classed as criminal offences, victims are irrelevant. [Post edited 25 Nov 2014 14:50]

They may be classed as such, but no victim no crime. If there is no victim, a crime cannot have taken place as nobody has suffered. It is a breech of regulation that has been treated a criminal offence under statute regulation. I think a lengthy ban is apt | | | |

Where do you find all this stuff? What about attempts or conspiracies to commit offences no victim but still very much a crime. What if I stuck an ied on the road which failed to detonate no victim so therefore no crime? The victim is always the Queen (as head of state) which is why every indictment is shown as R v Controversial Jack for example. He will get a ban and a suspended term of imprisonment/tag unless there are other factors other than that reported. There must be an issue with something because you would expect a court appearance straight off rather than a bail return at Police Station. | |

I am pretty sure that Berahino is British, certainly plays for England U21. Just because he is not white with an odd name doesn't make him a foreigner. | |
