Not sending him to jail I can understand - there is overcrowding and I think prison sentences should primarily be a tool to prevent re-offending, with secondary roles as punnishment and deterrant. However a) suspended sentence. b) Why the hell is his convinence an overriding concern when passing down sentence!? And if you're going to hand down a fine, hand down a fine that actually means something.
Meh, most of it's been said above so I'll not go on further.
