Harry Potter Star Pleads Guilty to Drugs Charges
Harry Potter star Jamie Waylett has pleaded guilty to illegally growing cannabis in his North London home.
The actor, best known for his portrayal of Slytherin Vincent Crabbe in the hit Warner Bros. franchise, was arrested last April after he was found by police with eight bags of marijuana in his car. A subsequent raid on his home in Camden – which the 19-year-old shared with his mother – resulted in the confiscation of ten cannabis plants.
Waylett’s hearing took place at the Westminster Magistrate’s Court in London on Thursday, and was adjourned until July 21.
He faces a maximum sentence of 14 years in prison for the production of a Class-B drug.

O.J. Simpson Found Guilty
October 6, 2008 by Amber
Filed under OJ Simpson
The notorious O.J. Simpson was found guilty of armed robbery and kidnapping by a Las Vegas jury late Friday night.
Ironically, Simpson’s conviction comes on the 13-year anniversary of the day he was controversially acquitted for the murders of his ex-wife, Nicole Brown Simpson, and her friend, Ronald Goldman, in Los Angeles.
This time around, Simpson was unable to escape unscathed, and was convicted – along with his co-defendant Clarence Stewart – on all 12 counts of robbery and kidnapping. Each charge carries a mandatory five years behind bars, with the potential for a full life sentence.
Simpson’s sentencing has been scheduled for December 5.
