How To Void Jail For Stabbing Someone ....

[youngmafbog]

Just be very bright.

What utter nonsense, and would you want a druggie operating on you? nd is a hosital the best place for someone who takes drugs?

She should be jailed for the stabbing, prosecuted for drugs and not allowed anywhere near medical registration

youngmafbog & baldric please read slaney's post at 10.06 !
The judge is simply following sentencing guidelines as he is compelled to do!

Eddie.....my take on this is that the Judge Doesn't have to follow guidelines....

"Please don’t forget that judges, like magistrates, are required to consider the guidelines but not necessarily to follow them."
That is what slaney's link says.

totally agree, shouldn't be anywhere near an op theatre. should have been jailed imo

jno, from the article
//Aspiring heart surgeon Lavinia Woodward, 24, punched and stabbed her boyfriend during an alcohol-and-drug-fuelled row at Christ Church College. She admitted unlawfully wounding the Cambridge University student, who she met on the dating app Tinder.//

I think that says enough to make a call.

Slaney posted almost ½ an hour after I made my comment, so it has no bearing whatsoever on what I said!

Is being 'abused' by a previous boyfriend carte blanche for laying into any future mates?
Might the learned judge have had his head turned by a pretty face.
I'm reminded of the fragrant Mary Archer.

In conclusion, sleep with one eye open.

Judge warned her to stay off the drugs for four months, and why in this day of sliced bread did she have a bread knife. She seems a bit suss to me.

EDDIE
// the judge is convinced the stabbing was a 'one off' which happened in the middle of a 'drunken argument'. This has been a successful argument against a custodial sentence in many cases//

My first jail sentence was in 1994. I only THREATENED someone with a knife. I DIDN'T use it, I WASN'T drugged up and it too was a one off.

Maybe the difference was, I didn't have an Oxford education and came from a council estate.
Its always been one law for one and one for another.

ymb, no, I disagree. It says nothing at all about what the boyfriend did. That's only one side of the story. The judge will have heard both sides.

[Baldric]

Looks like we didn't get the whole truth after all

/// medic, 24, has history of violence and drug use ///

I bet if she lived an a rough area in a flat she would not be let off as it were and yes there are very clever people who live in rough areas .
And would be as clever as she is if only given the chance they deserve .
Its a rule for one and and a different rule for another .
What if she had hit a main artery in his leg and he would have died it could have happened . Most unfair he should send her for drug rehab,at the least
What is wrong he gives her just 4 months not to re offend .!2 months it ought to have been
