I'm also a Babyshambles fan so no gripes these days with Pete Doherty. The way I see it is that he's a celeb, he's not a master criminal and seeing as he's not doing anyone else any harm, why not leave him to get on with it? if he ends up killing himself then so be it, but it's his life.
I agree in theory, but the law is the law. It's either wrong for everyone, or nobody. You can't bend things to suit because someone is famous (well a good lawyer might, but you know what I mean).
