Looter sentenced to imprisonment

The New Zealand Herald (Auckland) is often the quickest newspaper off the block. This afternoon they reported that a man had been sentenced to 17 months jail for looting (although his sentence included time for other offences).

Less well know (almost invisible really) is the Christchurch website Christchurch Court News which gives a daily account of the comings and goings in the Christchurch courts. They carry the story of the looter as well as the sentencing of another person for shoplifting (the shoplifitng being "doubly bad" to retailers struggling afterr the earthquake).
