Pete Doherty kicking reporters outside courtPete Doherty’s uncle believes Pete should be thrown in jail over the current furore over the photographs of Pete, a prone female fan and a syringe in her arm.

According to quotes in the Sun, his uncle Philip Michels said: “Why the courts haven’t thrown him in jail yet is beyond me.”

“I hope they are as disgusted by these pictures as me and next time he is thrown in jail for at least a year. It’s for his own good if he’s ever going to get off heroin.”

“To damage your own health is one thing but to put a needle into someone else, a girl already out of it on drugs, is disgusting. [His mother] Jacqui was sobbing her heart out.”

“His sister Amy Jo doesn’t want anything to do with him. His dad Peter is furious.”
