Teen issued death threat to witness
A HAMPSHIRE man has been given a suspended sentence after threatening witnesses to a crime, telling one: “You’re dead.”
Paul Stanley Cooper, 18, of Brick Lane, Bransgore, had pleaded guilty at Southampton Magistrates’ Court to telling one man to retract his statement and physically threatening him on October 12, and attempting to pervert the course of justice.
Magistrates sentenced Cooper to ten weeks, suspended for 12 months, for threatening witnesses.
He must carry out 80 hours of work in the community and take an education, training and skills course.
The magistrates sentenced him to 12 weeks concurrent for the second incident on November 16, in which he told his victim: “You’re dead.”
They also ordered Cooper to pay an £80 victim surcharge but made no order for costs.

So an emminant stupid politician and his ex wife get sent away, at my expense, for perverting the course of justice when no one was threatened or hurt (unless you count the judges feelings) and this guy actually threatens to kill a witness to pervert the course of justice and gets a minor slap on the wrist. At least one of these judges should be dealt with for encouraging defamation of court. (or both)

Get a grip you know nothing other than a small piece written here as to what actually happened or the case it involves ( which was thrown out of court) but it didn't bother to mention that in this write up !! However a politician who is there to help run the country can tell lie after lie oh and then some more lies to try and get himself off the hook for a CRIME he committed but that's ok because he's stupid !!! If the court,who I might add are well informed with all the info decides the punishment was justified for the so called attempted crime, then who are you ?To think you know better.
