        @BBCBreaking yet those at the core of the scandal - Vicky Pryce and Chris Huhne- were given just 8 months?

        @BBCBreaking Barrister Constance Briscoe jailed for 16 months. ONLY 16 months? She was a judge, should've got 36 months at least.

        @hotspursam The sentence handed down today is the COMBINED sentence for Huhne and Price.

        @BBCBreaking that sentence is waaay too harsh. Especially considering those at the core of the case only got 8 months. What an injustice.
