What you have said is that Rooney should of been sent down and that because he hasn't it sends the wrong message out.

Do you actually believe that it would stop others from drink driving if he had been sent down?

It would set an example to the young kids. Not an instant change, but a long term message that drink driving isn't right. That no matter who you are, you will be punished.

ve just thought. Courts DO already recognise financial resource as a factor in criminal proceedings with no cries of HR when it's done. It is not considered a HR violation of somebody wealthy is denied ball and remanded because his financial resources afford him the ability to pay for a private jet/yacht and flee the law's jurisdiction is it?
------------------------------------

Not quite. A judge confiscates the passport of the accused. Our increases the amount needed for bail if the defendant is a flight risk.

However the courts do take notice of wealth, or community standing in sentencing because actually richer people are less likely to reoffend not more.

Really! I totally get no matter who you are you should be punished in the same way, however I don't buy sending Rooney down would make people think twice, you'd of thought the Lee Hughes incident would of made an impact on people! It obviously didn't make Rooney think twice about reoffending.

How many kids looked up to Hughes?

On a side note, I played against him on a Sunday while he was doing time. He went in goal.

It doesn't matter if you look up to someone or not. All people are sentenced within prescribed guidelines for punishment with some leniency based on reoffending. The question you have to ask is Rooney likely to reoffend. And its very unlikely he will because he loses a lot of money/sponsorship every time someone even talks about it. Which is why he probably got a sentence in the lower end of the guidelines.

Its not about been looked up to mate, do you honestly believe some kid in the future would actually stop and think and remember Rooney getting sent down for drink driving (if he had like the op wanted) and then decide not to do it himself? I think on most occasions no.

Alcohol stops people from thinking straight at times and in Rooneys case the mixture of alcohol and getting his end away certainly stopped any reasonable thinking!

You played against Hughes! Did you score?

No, never good enough to play that far up pitch He kept a clean sheet and the prison side(some inmates) were very good. He came and took everything in the box with ease.

Took some banter from both sides and
