An article in the paper this morning reports that Amy Winehouse will not face any criminal chargers for smoking crack cocaine. She was video smoking the substance and the video was then handed to police.
Once again it appears that that celebrities can do what they like and get away it, Peaches Geldhof was let and Kate Moss was not charged for snorting cocaine. Pete Doherty was eventually sentenced jailed for drug offences, but only served part of his sentence.
What message does this send to our children, this people are role models to our kids (but how anybody can see anything Amy Winehouse or Pete Doherty I just don't know). The law needs to come down heavy on these people, send them to prision for a minimum of 5 years with no parole, perhaps then the message will get through, drugs are dangerous and illegal

The problem is that they can't prove in court what the substance was from a video. All the defence lawyer has to do is ask the prosecution to prove that was crack in the video and the case falls to pieces. It would be a waste of court time and money. The same would apply if it were you videoed snorting Beecham's Powders through a story. Someone could claim it was cocaine instead of a cold cure, but they couldn't prove it.
