Appalling. From the article:
Sentencing her, judge John Harrow said: ‘You have a breathtaking record of violence, one of the worst I have ever seen from anyone your age. ‘It is not without a lot of hesitation and some reservations, I must confess, that I’m going to suspend that 12 month sentence for two years.’
He added: ‘Any offence at all will be sent back to this court and you will go straight down those steps to prison for at least 12 months.’
Yesterday residents of Bournemouth questioned the judge’s decision. One wrote online: ‘So what do you actually have to do to go to prison these days?’
