How many tiers of court they can still appeal? I mean in India after special court we can appeal to high and then supreme court which is final.How does it work in UK.Can they make another appeal to a higher court?

Jail time sounds very harsh. They should have imposed a heavy fine and banned them permanently.

Butt will def get jail term probably 4 years. Asif will get suspended sentence.

Did they know they would go to jail ? Otherwise they could have stayed in Pakistan and not taken a risk (like Gibbs). I feel sad for Butt (knowing that his kid will be born),but he has only himself to blame. I hope he sings now and exposes the larger picture.

Lol, Absoltuely no, i mean amir could be shown some leniancy considering his poor background and his age, But people like butt who was a well educated person and daddy of all the mistakes should be punished.

Lol' date=' Absoltuely no, i mean amir could be shown some leniancy considering his poor background and his age, But people like butt who was a well educated person and daddy of all the mistakes should be punished.[/quote'] Lol, I dont believe we agree on something. Anything less then a jail term will be very disappointing.
