Misogynistic Judge

[Canary42]

Another example of the appalling state of the Judiciary in this country. Crime does pay.

It is a morally wrong outcome but it is legally the correct one.

He was bequeathed the money in a will and it has nothing to do with the sexual assault.

He may be total scum but that changes nothing relating to the will.

'Kirsty said her mother started to develop dementia in 2003-2004 and no longer had the ability to understand and change her will before she died in 2013.'

A will is a legal document. Unfortunately the 'judiciary' had no choice in the matter.

Agree with the above. The legal system is nothing to do with 'fairness', sadly. That man has not been 'paid' for his crime by his victim.

[Barmaid]

No misogyny at all. The two are completely unrelated. It is not for a Judge to impose his moral views on a testatrix's dispositions. The Judge was right.

[Ellipsis]

The guy is clearly a nasty piece of work and the will is the perfect weapon for him to exert coercive control over this poor woman. The will is nuts, so it may have been possible to argue that the deceased was nuts to write it or that the legal representative was incompetent.

Judge's ruling in this case was just and fair!

Bewildering is the fact he only got a suspended sentence for being found guilty on 2 counts of rape??

[barry1010]

I have been unable to find anything that states this man was found guilty of two rapes. He received the suspended sentence for sexually assaulting a woman and her young daughter. He wasn't accused of rape

/He wasn't accused of rape/

How right you are. My mistake!
