After 12 hours of deliberation, the jury has convicted. Sentencing will be at a later date, but all the signs are Huhne and Pryce now face jail .... and all to avoid a driving ban, and some political embarrassment.
What a pair of morons.

What a pair of morons.
Neither will actually get put down though, will they?

for all intents it seems to be the same card minus some gays name on it and a shielded cover ? with OEM added to it - GoNz0.

I think there is a very real chance they will. Perverting the course of justice is a serious offence and both have lost the opportunity of early guilty plea discounts.
Jonathon Aitken was convicted of perjury and served seven months of a 15 month sentence, Jeffery Archer served 2 years after convictions for perjury and perverting the course of justice.
Both Pryce and Huhne have been warned about the seriousness of the offence, I suspect the best they can hope for is a suspended custodial sentence.

I'm really not one of those people, although history probably dictates i should be, but people who've been, or still are, in relative positions of power/wealth do appear to get off lightly. How long was it Elliot Morley(?) did of his sentence?

From wikipedia.. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elliot_Morley)
Morley eventually pleaded guilty in the Crown Court at Southwark on 7 April 2011 before Mr Justice Saunders, who had presided over the other prosecutions in the Parliamentary expenses scandal. On 20 May 2011, Morley was sentenced to 16 months imprisonment on two counts of false accounting.[2][3] He served four months in prison – a quarter of the sentence – and was then released under the home detention curfew scheme.
And having just re-read Saracens original post...
I would say not so much morons, but symptomatic of an arrogant attitude in thinking they were above the law. The scary thing is that they might have got away with it, had it not been for... er 'marital discord'.

That defence harks back to a time when it was difficult for women to gain economic independence from their husbands, when influential men could often ruin a woman's reputation if she dare to stand up to them. When women typically promised in their wedding vows to obey their husbands.
It's an insult to those women that Pryce should have tried to run this defence.

Put 'em in the same cell
Feel sorry for the family; she could have put family above spite & revenge, & chose not to, with every reasonably foreseeable chance that it would make a bad situation worse - could have salvaged something perhaps by being altruistic rather than both of them descending to the same level so publicly.
I would be astonished, staggered even, if they get suspended sentences for this, and personally, I'd regard it as an utter travesty. Given the nature of the judge's warnings, I think it's a very forlorn hope if they are hoping that. Huhne certainly should, IMHO, be sent down. And while I wasn't in court to hear the evidence, I find the "marital coercion" line Pryce tried to float very hard to swallow.
She paid a high Pryce.

My thoughts on this.
She has a very high power job dealing with powerful ppl every day yet she was scared by her husband who has always came accross as a bit of a wuss to me.
She is supposed to be an intelligent woman yet thought that she would be able to leak it to the papers regarding the points and get away scott free?
I think she is worse than him. Points dodging scams are common, morally and legally wrong, but common. Being a vindictive git who uses the law as a power game is worse IMO.

At least they managed to have a jury with sense this time, the last lot made themselves sound utterly incompetent.
Well she dropped them both in it anyway so as someone said 'Hell hath no fury'
