HERE are some of the Worcester criminals who dodged jail this Christmas, including a man caught with vile images of child rape, two men armed with knives and a greedy woman who fleeced her own family. Following on from us putting the spotlight on those jailed over Christmas and New Year, today we share cases where criminals avoided a jail sentence over the festive period. Harsher conditions in jail due to the Covid-19 pandemic can and, according to the Court of Appeal, should be taken into account when sentencing defendants.
