Tanisha Williams (20) and Paige Springer (20) jailed over ‘sickening’ torture of a 27-year old man, a vulnerable internet date smashed over the head with a hammer, dunked in a cold bath, strangled with hair straighteners and threatened with a DRILL during a 24-hour ordeal. Motherhood a mitigating circumstance in their sentencing, just 28 months in prison.

Our thanks to Sue for this. The end of the piece:

Mr Pottinger [prosecutor] added: ‘There was a clear intention to cause more injury than he sustained because there were a number of blows that did not connect with any real force.’

Williams’ lawyer Mr Dan Darnbrough said: ‘She deeply regrets her actions. It will be her first custodial sentence and she is terrified.

‘Sometimes she drank to excess and took cannabis and says her anti-depressant tablets turned her into a zombie.’ [J4MB translation: She can’t be held accountable for her actions because vagina.]

Both women were given a 10-year restraining order against Mr Liddell and forbidden from contacting him by Judge Lamb.

He said: ‘There is no dispute this is a Category One offence.

‘Save for motherhood there’s little in mitigation for these defendants for me to take a different course.’

Could someone please explain to me why these violent women being mothers should be a ‘mitigation’? Wouldn’t their children be better off being looked after by less dysfunctional people?

If everyone who read this gave us just £1 – or even better, £1 monthly – we could change the world. Click here to make a difference. Thanks.

  1. One might reasonably think that their crimes justified a sentence of twenty eight years and the fostering or adoption of their children, unless their relatives wish to raise them, if that is advisable. I’m probably going ‘too far’ but I would argue that anti-social, if not actually evil, trash like those two should also be sterilised, for the benefit of society and the poor unfortunates they might bring into the world.
