    ... gave ... two-year community order, a nine-month drug rehabilitation requirement, 120 hours of unpaid work and £15,000 in costs to pay.

    ... you can expect at least three years in prison if this doesn’t work.

    ... Defending, ... someone who has ‘suffered with trauma’.
    ... suffered from depression and anxiety for quite some time and this culminated in her decision to start growing this cannabis.

    “She grew the cannabis because she felt unsafe to buy it as a single woman.”

    ... borrowed the equipment to set up the operation and that her first effort was a ‘disaster’.

    She said: “It’s not nice, so I just heard that people grow it and I thought 'why don’t I grow it'?”

    But drugs expert ... gave evidence that the cannabis yield would ‘absolutely not’ be consistent with personal use.

    He said: “If someone was growing cannabis for their own personal use they would certainly not need two tents each capable of producing 16 plants.

    “It is far beyond what anyone could say was suitable for personal use.”

    Judge ... disagreed with Katara’s reason, saying it would have helped her case if she had told the court who had given her the equipment to grow the cannabis.

    She said: “Perhaps ... should be more forthcoming about who lent her this equipment. This was going to find it’s way back into the supply chain. This wasn’t for personal use.

    "You were turning a blind eye that this was going to get back out.”

    They no longer seem to give real sentences to UK females

    This is a case of supply but the authorities are turning a blind eye due to the sex of the defendant

    I gotta say you are right on that. Not being funny but if that had been a black male, even if he had a PhD. or were a white collar professional, it would likely have been custodial right away, and the media would depict him as some thug.

    Again, not being funny but a 15k fine is still very steep for a personal trainer, and that is if she gets to keep her job. But she probably has all the relevant soft skills to secure her position.

    Still sad though, just so many, many things wrong with the situation.

    Doesnt add up at all. Her story isnt credible hence theyve thrown the book at her.

    She will wish she had to serve time instead when shes paid the 15K and done that drug rehab. Piss test after piss test fuck that.

    That judge in Carlisle recently set a lovely precedent by finding a genuine medical grower NOT GUILTY

    This lady took the piss ( no doubt caught up in supply ) and got caught

    Gotcha - found the story now. There was something similar in Carlisle middle of last year, too.
