    oh yeah I always forget about what happened to him. I think what I find really annoying is why sentence them to so many years when they wont serve it all. I know its like that will all crimes but in this case they only just served under a quarter if their time. And one thing that I thought was interesting was that they all were given lon sentences when some of them played such a small part.
    Bare in mind my knowledge of this is only through tv dramas and reading on the internet.
