Thatcher 'guilty plea' over coup

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/africa/4169557.stm

Sir Mark Thatcher is to plead guilty over his part in an alleged coup plot in Equatorial Guinea, reports say.

The son of former Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher is accused of helping to finance an alleged coup.

He is reported to have agreed to a plea bargain and will make an unscheduled appearance at a South African court.

He will plead guilty to being negligent in investing in an aircraft said to have been used by alleged coup plotters, a BBC correspondent said.

he'd be in jail already, settling down for a long stay. He's so dumb he could be a member of the royal family.
