Sky News is reporting today that Jack Tweed “will spend at least six weeks behind bars after being handed a 12-week custodial sentence, half of which he may serve while out on licence.”

The Sun is reporting that Jack Tweed spent the night at his new wife’s bedside after getting special permission from probation chiefs.

Jack is of course electronically tagged and has recently been convicted of assaulting a taxi driver. He went straight from that court appearance to see Jade at London’s Royal Marsden Hospital where she’s recovering from an operation to relieve her pain.

Jade apparently collapsed “in tears” when she learned that her new husband could be taken back to prison following this latest conviction.

Jade’s spokesman, Max Clifford, confirmed to The Sun that authorities had “shown mercy” and let Jack stay with Jade overnight, even though he’s normally on a strict 7pm to 7am curfew.

The paper also stated that Jade’s mum, Jackiey Budden, also visited Jade and was visibly upset when she left.

The Press Association is reporting that Jade Goody’s husband, Jack Tweed, has appeared in court in Epping on a charge of assaulting a taxi driver.

It’s alleged that he assaulted Stephen Wilkins in Epping in May 2008, a police spokesperson said. Jack denies the assault.

Jack has only recently been released on license from an 18-month jail sentence after being convicted of assaulting a teenage boy last year.

In a compassionate move from probation officials, Jack Tweed will have his electronic tag removed so that he can be with his new bride Jade Goody when she dies.

Jack’s curfew was suspended on their wedding night and will be similarly suspended when Jade is dying, a senior Justice Ministry source revealed yesterday.

Plans are in place for the rapid removal of the tag when Jade, 27, finally succumbs to the cancer that’s killing her… Read more & comment »
