Facebook analyst failed to return from France on drugs charge over 'insect bites'
Stage: Sentence
Plea: Guilty
Outcome: Jailing him for two years, Judge Elma Sheahan said she was not disposed to suspend any part of the sentence, given Benchenna's failure to take advantage of the opportunities given to him by the court. "He was given not one, but two chances," Judge Sheahan said, adding he had wasted the court's time and the time of the already stretched Probation Service.
