Pete Doherty facing prison tomorrow?

As the Babyshambles man learns his fate, we chart his court dramas

The man needs to go to prison. I am a huge fan of his music (user name makes this obvious) but he needs serious help. In past and present, spells of rehab have done little for him except possibly to ever so slightly better his reputation. Just when everyone thinks Pete Doherty has turned over a new leaf, he gets arrested the following day or week. In order to seriously address his problem he will have to hit serious levels of depravation to realise what he is doing to himself. Throughout his drug addled history it seems that he is made of iron and that everything bounces off of him, be it court orders, arrests or drugs. He is surrounded by people that encourage his behaviour and this is another problem. His ticket out of the lifestyle he is leading WAS Miss Kate Moss, and now that he has lost her, who does he have to behave for? He won't kick drugs for his fans, his fiancee or flesh and blood, he needs to do it for himself. I grew tired of being shocked and surprised at his arrests many moons ago, having attended several gigs of his that have been cancelled, waiting hours in the pouring rain or, just as I was about to head out, a bulletin on this website appears. The boy makes some fine music, but he needs to sort his life out. Living in London does him no favours either, but he doesn't seem to realise this. I have already booked tickets for the December tour, but Pete needs to go to jail. He has got into the routine of constantly getting away scot free with every crime he commits and it needs to stop. Some people may think that this is funny, I myself see it as absolutely ridiculous.
