“Jewers has a previous conviction for failing to notify a change in circumstances affecting her entitlement to benefits in 2010, for which she was given a conditional discharge…
He [J4MB: her defence lawyer] added that she is paying back £100 a month [J4MB: At that rate she’ll be 129 when she’s finished paying back the sum she embezzled from taxpayers] and is “trying to better herself” and is “seeking promotion”. He said she has three dependent children and added: “She has expressed remorse and shame. She’s very frightened of what might happen today. She has children who have done nothing wrong.” [J4MB: Note the use of the children in order to evade accountability for her crimes. I’ll bet she was amazed to get a custodial sentence, even the absurdly lenient one she received. And doubtless she’ll spend well under 33 months in a place that will be a palace compared with men’s jails.]

‘Kindness cost him his life’: Woman guilty of hotel room murder | Essex Police Some of the appalling details London woman Polly Murphy guilty of Clacton hotel room murder – BBC News As his mother says “After the jury delivered its verdict, Self’s mother, Ashe, said: “Like so many men, James was embarrassed by the control and violence being inflicted on him. “Sadly, he would never come forward to seek help.”” This murder a culmination of many “incidents”. Its an easy thing to deny men justice by doing nothing to invite them to even approach authorities. Were there even a third the effort put into helping women it would make a difference. Yet the reality is its given practically zero effort and resources.
Contrast that with all the help for women and the policy of not even punishing women and closing all women’s prisons! Making this case of a not suspended custodial sentence all the more rare. Imagine the unlikelihood of a father having his children’s feelings being considered.
