Six additional months in prison for man with 30 prior convictions

J.P., a man with thirty prior convictions from the police court, was sentenced to an extra six months in prison on Monday. The judge in Sint-Niklaas intervened because J.P. was caught driving without a license yet again.

This additional sentence is added to an existing one-year prison term. J.P. expressed goodwill, but his repeated offenses were heavily weighted in the court's decision.
