she admitted to a charge of unlawful wounding which carries charges a custodial sentence according to the law over there. why should she be spared any sentencing of jail time or something carrying that weight? if the boyfriend who had a drug use habit was drunk and in a drug fueled rage stabbed her, what do you think would happen?I'll probably be in the minority, but I actually don't have a huge problem with this.
First offense, she's very young, she otherwise seems to be a good citizen, and it apparently happened while she was fucked out of her mind on controlled substances.
Yes, there should be a punishment, but probably not jail time. There are other ways to deal with this.
i left out this excerpt from the op. 'However, defending QC James Sturman reportedly said Woodward was a drug addict and her dreams of becoming a surgeon were “almost impossible” as her conviction would have to be disclosed.'
im surprised that the defending qc labeled her a drug addict and the judge went on to spare her jail time. maybe she has already caused her brain to develop schizophrenia already and this was the first outburst of many to come?
i dunno, i just think the legal system needs to be more ummm black and white where no personal prejudices and emotions can play factors in deciding outcomes. but this is all up in the air with this case, her sentencing is later in september and could be handled by another judge.
