Suspended sentence for intentionally running the bloke down ? So no real punishment at all.
If he’d gone under instead of over it likely would have killed him. It is quite incredible that she got away with such a lenient sentence… because..?
Our sentencing guidelines really need reviewing, not just in the case of car crime but across the whole board.
>[The Judge] added: “You were both heavily under the influence. This incident would not have happened if it was not for that. The reality is having been together that day the red mist descended on you. There was an altercation between you. When he walks off you drive away and you veer the car into him.”
>Thomas admitted to charges of battery, assault occasioning actual bodily harm and dangerous driving. She was handed a six-month prison sentence suspended for a period of two years.
>In addition, Thomas will have to pay a surcharge of £154 and was banned from driving for a year.
>She must also complete a mental health treatment requirement for a period of 12 months, as well as a 30-hour rehabilitation activity.
Wow. That’s one lenient sentence after attacking him in the car, driving drunk, and running him over.
Yet another stoy of a woman getting away with attempted murder. Further proof we live in a matrarchy.
So a women
Runs a man down
And all she gets is 6 months(so really 3) banned from driving and has to pay 154 pounds
If a man did this it would be classed as a hate crime and he’d be in jail for years

Suspended sentence what a joke. the guy she ran over was like cm from death she had intentions of killing him be it she was drunk you still have some self control.
This is why men shouldn’t bother with women and instead focus on building and experimenting with things like builiding a cyberlab.
Cases like this really make me question the legal system and why we have jails/prisons in the first place. The point of a prison, to my understanding, is to isolate people that are a danger to the public, away from the public, for a period of time while they work towards rehabilitating to the point of which they can safely integrate back into society.
If that’s the case, why is it that jail/prison sentences are wildly different (depending on the judge and how they feel that day) and why is it that someone can sell weed to somebody else with the consequence of jail time but, running someone down in a vehicle does not result in immediate jail time?
Which one is the bigger danger to society here? The excuses of being “heavily under the influence” and the “red mist descended on you” means we either need to revise whether alcohol should even be legal or, if it’s not the alcohol, maybe the fact that these sorts of people being so susceptible to the ‘descending red mist’ means they ARE a danger to society and need immediate jail/prison time.
His head was inches of the from wheel when he fall 5 inches further and she would run over his head. It was attempted murder she should be facing years if not decades in prison.
While this is obviously an atrocious sentence and not justice at all, I really wish we’d stop using attempted murder to mean basically anything
It doesn’t get them jailed even when the boyfriend dies.
I like how attempted murder is legal as long as you’re using a 2 ton metal death box to do it
A suspended sentence and a 1 year driving ban for intentionally running someone down while drunk, and the judge victim blamed.
Unbelievable really.
I remember accidentally driving into a bus lane for about two seconds before correcting my mistake.
£60 fine for me.
£154 for this lady and her antics.
Woman + driving is essentially a get out of jail free card. Bonus points if she’s white and/or middle class
You know what, I’m OK with this. Because yesterday on here I saw another couple row, she drove over him, left him bleeding on the ground and then got out to throw her front bumper at him. His skill was broken, he never woke up, died 15months later and she was sentenced to 18 years, the length of her marriage until then.
Is it easier, therefore less responsible in the eyes of the law, to dodge a car drunk than to drive one?
Even before any jail time, her licence should be taken away forever. If she’d shot him would they give her more guns? Why is driving apparently up there as a human right!
Hate it when videos do not play anyone care to upload to youtube?
