:54:00
And but for the timely intervention
:54:01
of the medical profession...
:54:03
you might have been before me
on an even more serious charge
:54:08
than the one that has brought you here today.
:54:11
Now...
:54:13
l have heard your plea of guilty,
:54:15
and I have taken that into account...
:54:18
and I have listened very carefully
:54:20
to the submissions of your council.
:54:22
But nothing has been advanced me today
:54:24
on your behalf which would persuade me
:54:27
to take any course
:54:29
other than to impose a custodial sentence.
:54:32
lndeed...
:54:34
the extreme seriousness of your crime
:54:37
is bound to be reflected
:54:39
in the sentence that I am about to pass.
:54:42
And that must serve as a deterrent to others.
:54:47
l therefore sentence you
:54:49
to a term of imprisonment,
:54:52
which will be two years and six months.
:54:56
Take her down.
:55:11
All rise.
:55:41
She won't be able to come round and see you.
:55:45
Not for awhile.
:55:48
Why not?
:55:50
Ethel will come over.
:55:59
- She ain't dead, is she?
- No.
