In something of a dramatic move in a continuing saga, former Libertine Pete Doherty was yesterday jailed for six months after he admitted to breaking in to fellow band mate Carl Barat's home and stealing technical and musical equipment.

With that in mind it was something of a surprise when Doherty's solicitor's appeal for a community penalty and drug rehab programme were turned down. Said solicitor is planning to appeal.
