Pete Doherty will once again escape being sent to jail on drug-related charges, this time because of a technicality. The Babyshambles singer, who was once connected romantically to Kate Moss, was arrested the other evening for drug possession, which would've constituted a breach of bail - but because the police failed to bring him before a judge within 24 hours, they are required to let him go.
All I know from this and Pete's other legal misadventures is that the British court system is just as wacked-out as the American one. Oh yeah, and that if you're a star you can do whatever you want - a rule that applies in pretty much every country.
