Mick Jagger's Nephew Jailed for Burglary
By Melvyn Howe, PA News
Sir Mick Jagger’s crack addict nephew was jailed for 12 months today for burglary.
John Jagger, the 25-year-old son of the rock star’s brother, Chris, broke into a house just weeks after being freed from prison for a similar offence in a “last chance” gesture by the Court of Appeal.
The former public schoolboy pocketed cash, jewellery and a passport to fund a drug habit that has plagued him since he was 16.
He showed little reaction as Judge Jeremy Connor told him at London’s Wood Green Crown Court that, despite a lengthy defence plea for leniency, the offence was so serious there was no alternative to immediate custody.
“Nothing else can be justified, not only because it was a house burglary – that means another house burglary in your case with all the effects on the householder that that involves – but it was committed flatly in the face of a chance given to you by the Court of Appeal only months after you committed yet another theft from somebody’s home.”
As Jagger’s father watched anxiously from the public gallery, the judge added: “That chance from the Court of Appeal was really rejected by this offence.”
The former window cleaner and labourer, who has 13 previous convictions for a variety of offences including burglary and theft, then managed a quick “thank you, sir” to the judge and a final glance at his father before being led to the cells.
As his son began yet another spell behind bars, Chris Jagger warned prison would probably not help at all.
In his view, his son needed “help and support”, not jail.
Speaking outside court, he went on: “If sending someone to prison for very long worked, I would be in favour of it because I want my son to recover, to sort himself out and lead a happy life.”
But locking him up in an environment where often drugs were freely available would, in all likelihood, simply exacerbate an already difficult situation.
Mr Jagger, who said his brother, Mick, was also very concerned about the young man’s future, said everyone was “obviously worried” about him. “It is his life and he is a young man.”
He added: “Judges are part of a system that sends people to prison and that is how they view their job.”
Jagger, of Rectory Road, Clapham, south west London, had pleaded to one count of burglary on November 5 – just eight weeks after being released from jail following another break-in.
He also asked for three similar offences to be taken into consideration.

Even though it might not help him get off drugs, it will keep his neighbors free of theft by him. |

Something tells me he possesses a certain family facial "characteristic" which may make him pretty easy to identify! |

If thats a "facial" characteristic he must visit the same plastic surgeon as Cher! |

Thank you, Sue!!! He looks a like a (young) Jagger.
I still think that Mick Jagger should just give him money.
He's too cute to surivive jail. |

Yep--that facial characteristic shared by Mick, Chris and John--that great big ole forehead. They are all "blockheads." LadyJane, correct me if I am wrong, since you were once in the same (ahem) hotel room as Mick--but those standing close to him tell me that the first thing you notice is how big his head is on that smallish body frame--and then the big hands and feet. Or werent you looking there??????????? |

The first thing that struck me was how tiny he is. After that all I could do was stare at THAT face!! Nothing seemed out of proportion to me!! Don't forget...I was in a total state of shock and visibly trembling.
And let me add....to an eighteen year old who was obviously in total awe......he was a total gentleman and very, very sweet!!!

| LadyJane |
