Our thanks to Steve for this. As we and others predicted, the judge used a series of ‘mitigating circumstances’ to justify not sending the violent woman to prison. You’ll never hear most of them used as mitigating circumstances for violent men. One is alcohol addiction. Men’s intoxication is routinely used as an aggravating circumstance when sentencing, not a mitigating circumstance. I’m reminded yet again of Alison Tieman’s short video, Men’s Rights versus Feminism explained using magnets.

Justice for Men & Boys 
Stone the crows. Was just listening to BBC News 24 and the announcer said that the Lavinia Woodward case had “sparked widespread debate about inequality in the criminal justice system”.
Do they really mean gender inequality, or seeing as it’s the BBC, class inequality? And why are they taking a sudden interest in this only now? It is tempting to think that the BBC gender pay gap scandal, and the recent imposition of gender quotas at all levels within the corporation, has possibly created an unspoken civil war within the organisation, or at least a spirit of unrest within its ranks.

The judge said that jail would harm her career.
Hmm. A novel legal defense (I assume the judge is acting for the defense).
“Your honour, my client murdered six people but we shouldn’t let that affect his promising career as a childminder”.

The conviction has done that. She’ll never get any role requiring production of an enhanced DBS and all the caring professions – and most positions of trust – do require it

Poor lamb. My heart bleeds for her.
The only course left is to get a man drunk and trick him into getting her pregnant. Then the state will support her for the rest of her life.
Or maybe she could go crying to any one of a million women’s groups and tell them how she’s the real victim in all this.
Yes, probably not much need for her to work.

If she’d been a man the feminists in the media would be having a field day with this judge. Proof some people still are listed in a bygone era.

Another “Gentleman” judge. The feminists really only have to keep quiet to see our courts continue to privilege women as “damsels”. I am mindful of the honest Philip Davies who has said he was perfectly prepared to believe that women got a raw deal from the Courts until he asked the Library of Parliament to put together the figures for him. And he found the reverse of what he expected and been told.
To his credit he then simply demanded the truth be acknowledged and got attacked.
Certainly in my generation and older men are all too ready to believe women are fragile damsels in need of care and support. Feminists have been using that for decades.

As I understand it, Oxford has already thrown her out.
Even though she has escaped prison, this conviction has still put paid to a medical career, because where safeguarding of others is concerned, the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act doesn’t apply.
This will be on an enhanced DBS all her life and to get a job in any of the caring professions, or in any position of trust, you have to produce a clear certificate. The combination of substance abuse and extreme violence means nobody will give her a second chance; they will follow it up. She’ll never get a taxi licence. Nor will she be able to emigrate to any country requiring entry clearance.
This little vixen is reduced to fairly routine work that does not require a background check and the judge probably considers this is the real punishment. Personally, I think a spell in Holloway or Styal would have rubbed the lesson in.
