That would be very satisfying, but I looked this up on gov.uk and it says that if you lose your appeal your original sentence or conviction will not change but you, “might have to: start your sentence from the beginning, – pay the court costs.”
The former would do, though.
Ooh, I like the thinking – and the research into sentencing. but my prediction is simply that Elizabeth’s dodgy ticker will see her hospitalised from all the stress, and maybe Freddie will be allowed to visit her while shackled to a prison officer. They’ll be reconciled, she’ll realise what a twat she’s being and Freddie can serve out the rest of his sentence in peace.
I don’t know a lot about prisons sentences (thank god) however I’m hoping that Elizabeth realises there’s not a hope in hell that he can’t get out (and why should he) and gives up the goat! Like your plot line purple pumpkin, bit of excitement!
