Chelsea Daniels: Front Page Host on Philip Polkinghorne's community service sentence for meth charges
Published 1 year, 7 months ago
Description
A community service sentence ends the saga of Philip Polkinghorne.
The former Auckland eye surgeon has returned to the High Court in Auckland today – more than a month after he was acquitted of murdering his wife Pauline Hanna.
He's been sentenced to 150 hours community work after admitting to a meth charge.
The Front Page's Chelsea Daniels spoke to Kerre Woodham from the High Court at Auckland and says the possibility of a fine was discussed.
She says Justice Graham Lang didn't believe a fine would be enough to hold Polkinghorne to account, given his “healthy” financial position.
