Retired NHS nurse Christine Campey, 68, caught on CCTV lacing horse’s food with rat poison. Conditional discharge.

Another farcical case of leniency towards a female criminal. An extract:

“Campey told police she didn’t remember what happened, adding she’d been suffering a lot of pain at the time, and had been taking medication.

The 68-year-old initially denied a single charge of attempting to administer a poisonous substance to a protected animal, and the case was set to go to trial.

However, a pre-trial review hearing on Tuesday, April 8, at Chester Crown Court, she changed her plea to guilty and was dealt with there and then.

His Honour Judge Simon Berkson handed her a conditional discharge, meaning she has a criminal conviction, but will only be punished if she commits another offence in the next 12 months.” [J4MB emphasis.]

  1. what is it with women and horses( or indeed any animal.. cat in a bin lady?)?

    if they are not whipping them, they are poisoning them..

    are they so angry at the world, that they take it out on animals( or people) who can’t defend themselves)?

    men have plenty to be upset and angry at the world about ( myself included), but we don’t take it out on others..

    giving this woman a conditional discharge just enables other women to do this, because we all know that men wouldn’t get this light a sentence, especially thanks to the sentencing council with their two tier justice system..
