Anne Darwin found guilty on all 15 accounts for fraud and money laundering.

If only google hadn't turned up pictures of them in Panama

The sidebar article from the trial contains an interesting story/headline:

The wife of back-from-the-dead canoeist John Darwin told a jury she wished her husband really had drowned.

Woof, Woof – Dawg

What I never understood about the whole scheme was the small sum of money involved… hardly life-altering if you consider the whole picture.

Surely if you were going to creae this elaborate of a scheme… cause distress to your children etc etc you'd do it for a bigger sum than £250,000? 😕

Maybe it just seemed like a good idea at the time?

Of course £250,000 might go a long way in Panama. Who knows.

Apparently they were facing bankruptcy, so indeed it would be a life altering sum in that case I suppose

think they paid £40,000 for an apartment in Panama and were looking at buying 500 acres for around £200,000 and turning it in to some eco-friendly resort with him giving canoeing lessons.

She should be sentenced at 2:00pm
