JUDGMENT THE BAILIFF: 1. You are sentenced on Count 2 of the First Indictment, malicious damage, to 1 month's imprisonment.
2. In relation to the Second Indictment, the charge of careless driving, you are sentenced to of a fine of £2,500 or 2 month's imprisonment. On Count 3, you are sentenced to 2 weeks' imprisonment. On Count 4 to 2 weeks' imprisonment.
3. All the prison sentences will run currently, but not the prison sentence in default of the fine, which obviously you will not pay but have served sufficient time as I understand it, and the result is that you are released immediately.
