The 'pathetic' family feud that landed two sisters in jail and their brother-in-law framed for a crime he didn't commit
A judge told two sisters to 'grow up' as they were jailed for framing their brother-in-law for a crime he did not commit.
Christopher Hopkins, prosecuting, described how Mr and Mrs Potter were in Widnes town centre with their dog on August 6 last year and were walking in the direction of Widnes Market when they spotted Helen McPartland's parked car nearby. Mr Potter went into the market, leaving the pet with his wife. This was said to be a reference to Michelle, who had undergone such a procedure. Mr and Mrs Potter then left the area.
His solicitor 'viewed the footage and advised him to plead guilty', which he did as there was a 'chance the matter might end up in the crown court' otherwise, and was handed an eight-week imprisonment suspended for a year and told to complete 80 hours of unpaid work. "There has clearly been tit for tat going on between both sides of the family. The defendants describe being at breaking point."
She could then be heard wailing hysterically in a back room as she and her sister were taken down to the cells. Sentencing, Judge David Swinnerton said: "It is sad to see you before the courts out of a family dispute which had been going on for some time and arises out of a will.
