Bad enough thieving, but according to the papers, using the cancer is a cheap trick to gain a sympathy vote to lessen her sentence.

Also a slap in the face for the many thousands of cancer sufferers and their families who carry on honestly regardless of their plight.

In all this time of her illness and lack of money she carried on shooting ( clay shooting is expensive ) maybe it was funding her shooting !!!

Without KNOWING the full facts, I think we should refrain from casting aspersions.

 

[balltrap]

She was found guilty !!!

 

[Deershooter]

And still a official of the Lincolnshire CPSA

Sorry we do know the facts SHE HAS BEEN CONVICTED

Hard up but still traveled to Bywell to shoot ame competed in at least one registered shoot a month all year

As said earlier the excuse of cancer is sic and a ploy to reduce sentence

You could not make it up

With you on that one

She took your entry money and put it in her pocket and it did not go to the ground.......the ground losses money and could close if they do not make money, that has a affect on us all. There are to many grounds closing without the help from a thief ?

Extension to definition of Prohibited Person under Section 21 Firearms Act 1968

From 14 July 2014, if a person receives a suspended sentence of three months or more then they will not be able to purchase or possess a firearm or ammunition for a period of five years from the second day after sentence. This timescale has been set so that a person who is in possession of a firearm or ammunition is not in immediate breach of the law when the sentence is passed and has an opportunity to make arrangements to transfer or dispose of their firearm or ammunition.

However, a person who received a suspended sentence before 14 July and already has a firearm certificate would be able to retain their firearm and ammunition for the duration of their certificate.

Section 110 makes another amendment to the Firearms Act so that from 14 July 2014, a person who has served or received a criminal sentence will not be able to possess an antique firearm. The prohibition applies to anyone who has served a custodial sentence of more than three years or has served a custodial sentence, or received a suspended sentence, of between three months and three years.

A person to whom this applies and who currently lawfully possesses an antique firearm will need to dispose of it by 14 July.

The Home Office circular covering this change can be found at https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/home-office-circulars-2014.

Be very careful here folks. Guard against making slanderous or inappropriate comments on the World Wide Web without knowing the full facts. There is doubtless much more to this than the newspaper report.

Yep - thread closed.  As always, I don't want cases in court being discussed on ShootClay.
