Andrew Baines, 46, had faced up to 15 years’ jail for production and supply of a class B drug
The 46-year-old was spared a 15-year sentence after prosecutors decided to pursue him on the lightest possible charge, for which the judge gave him the lowest possible sentence of a six-month community order. He was arrested in April 2020 after Post Office staff became suspicious of a package he had sent out.The Crown Prosecution Service initially charged him with the supply an production of a Class B drug, but later decided only to prosecute him for the least severe offence in the category: production of up to seven plants.
‘He never charged for his time or asked for anything in return. His knowledge is incredible. He is the most selfless man.’Judge Kelly, who also spared Mr Baines from legal costs, said in her ruling: ‘If the law was different, Mr Baines would have been applauded, not punished.
