How silly. If she were to appeal she could well find her sentence increased to one of immediate custody.

No, she stabbed someone, she should be doing time like anyone else who uses a knife as a weapon.

///Judge Pringle said Woodward faced a possible maximum sentence of three years in prison for a "category two" offence of unlawful wounding///
No, she has already had enough lenience shown.I do not see any grounds for an appeal against her conviction,and she certainly has no grounds to appeal the sentence.
I was going to post about this. No, she was lucky to get the lenient sentence she had!

would scupper her chances of being a surgeon. would suggest that through drink she has anger issues, throwing a laptop at the bloke then stabbing him in the leg doesn't strike me as someone who is right in the mind.
Absolutely not. This young lady should be in jail, appealing shows she clearly has no remorse or understanding of the wrong she did.

The Home Secretary should intervene nd request a heavier sentence.

If a man did this to a woman there would be all hell to pay - and he would definitely be in jail for a long time.
Can't quite see what she is appealing against, if it is her suspended sentence, then I agree with her she should have been sent to jail, like any man would have been.

does seem very lenient. And i believe that had a man done this to a woman he would be off to jail in an instant.
She most certainly is not right in the head.

Couple that with her clear (and hardly surprising given the judges leniency) superiority (me me me ) complex and she is a ticking time bomb.
Emmie, I would suggest that her conduct alone would scupper her chances of becoming a surgeon.

i would think so..
A sensible person would stay away from publicity !!!
Being a surgeon is very tough for a woman. My daughter wanted to do it but was suppressed by the male surgeons who think women should not be allowed to do it. (And yes this was in a NHS hospital in the Midlands area)

Once what she did to a man gets out she is going nowhere.
I said at the time she had been fortunate, she'd have been better leaving it be - as said this could backfire on her.

Allowed? Yes, if the provision for appeal in there.
Unfortunately the article doesnt give the grounds on which she is appealing.

As to whether she should allowed to be, that is a matter for a single judge who with either grant permission to appeal or deny her permission. If permission is denied, that's more or less it. If permission is granted, then it will still have to be heard by the Court of Appeal and there are no guarantees.

Should she be allowed to appeal? In my view it is fundamental to our justice system to allow anyone who feels aggrieved to make an application for permission to appeal. Whether it should be successful or not really depends on the grounds (although for what it is worth, I do think she is being rather stupid).
But she pleaded guilty at her trial, I don't understand.
She is,apparently, appealing the suspended sentence.If she does she runs the risk of it being increased.The appeal court judges may not be as lenient as the trial judge
Thanks Danny, I missed that, silly woman.
I'm fed up of hearing that if a man did a similar thing he'd go to prison.
This man didn't

Let her appeal, the outcome will be interesting reading
Perhaps she is arguing that she was only practicing for her future career ...with the bread knife......
