Former British cabinet minister Chris Huhne and his ex-wife Vicky Pryce were sentenced to eight months each in prison on March 11 for perverting the course of justice, relating to who was driving a speeding car in 2003.
Huhne, 60, was behind the wheel of the BMW but asked Pryce, 58, to claim she was responsible to avoid the Liberal Democrat MP losing his driving licence. Pryce withdrew this claim after Huhne left her for another woman.
