It seems like a really obvious case of attempted murder. She drugged the child, beat him up, and then left him for dead in a forest at night without shoes or socks and just wearing a polo shirt. It’s usually under 10c at night in East Lothian in September..
How on earth has she managed to escape jail?
No one could expect a child to survive that so I find it bizarre she’s not gone down for attempted murder. The circumstantial evidence alone seems clear as day and I think it’d be pretty easy to convince a jury she tried to kill the boy.
I mean shit, at least try. What is there to lose?
Is the full judgment public on this case? I tried to find it so I could read it myself, and failed
How the fuck is she not serving jail time.
It looks like she expected the jail since she packed a bag.
Is this that famous inequality on display
the justice system is broken across the UK
I’m all for people being open about mental health and the fact that a lot of the stigma around anxiety and depression is being removed.
But there’s a limit. The judge saying that she’s suffered with her mental health and made great strides to improve herself? Fuck her and her mental health. She should be dropped in a hole and left there.
And she’s walking the streets with a well done from the judge. Utterly bizarre. What the fuck is going on!?
Wow! I heard on the radio a few days ago that a 19 year old rapist was given 40 months and was told by the judge that an older person would have been given a longer sentence and thought that was bad then read this! The Scottish justice system is a joke! That poor wee boy is permanently impaired!
This feels like a classic rage-bait kind of thing. Lots of scope for Daily Mail type responses without being in full possession of the facts. The nature of offence makes uncomfortable reading and clearly the judge had been planning to pass a custodial sentence. He reached a different conclusion. This is not about a broken system. This is how the system is meant to work.
Sure, we could have trial by social media with a hang ‘em and flog ‘em approach but personally, I prefer a system where the facts are weighed up carefully and the judge makes a decision. That’s what we pay them for.
“Justice must be seen to be done” and ” the public must have trust in the justice system” have been foundational standards for so long.
This judge’s decision must be challenged, people are going to slowly but surely disregard both of the above statements with verdicts like this one.
She should be serving a double figured jail sentence, and should be treated in there for her mental health issues.
Fuck that judge.
Climate activists (including women) got 4-5 years in prison, she walks free.
This is a disgraceful act. I’m in the US . My nephew Justin was murdered. The man only got 5 years probation . He was charged with reckless manslaughter.
No jail time is absolutely ridiculous for a crime of this nature….
If she was a man she would be in jail
Just to play devil’s advocate for one moment.. does anyone honestly think of this was a man responsible for her crimes that he’d get the same sentence using the same excuses she did?
I’d also be surprised if the victim’s family won’t ask for a review of this sentence if possible as there’s a clear argument that it is unduly lenient.
