Lucy Connolly to be freed

By empathising with other people’s views?

No, because of your whole approach to this issue. You seem to want to persecute a man through the justice system until we get the verdict you want because you don't like his politics. I am happy with my description of vindictive, obsessed and tawdry.

I suspect MNW's had a few ginger beers.
He seems to get a bit punchy on the sauce.
 
She pleaded guilty thinking she would then be allowed home to her daughter and husband.
The sentence of a slap on the wrist would be metered out at a later date.

I wonder whether that is the advice her solicitor gave her.

Did she have legal councel?
Perhaps biker boy and his jailbird criminal supporting buddies believe she went to that courtroom vulnerable and alone?
Could they clarify?

I have just been reading her self-pitying whinge in the Telegraph. Everybody is to blame but her. She is even claiming that one of the reasons she pleaded guilty is because she wouldn't have been able to get a fair trial.

The only legitimate complaint I can see she might have is why was she held on remand rather than bailed. I don't know how common that is for the particular charges she was facing and in these particular circumstances. We need to remember that the criminal justice system has two purposes. Punishment and deterrence.
 
Yes we have evidence of one woman with a Tory councilor husband.

Interestingly, in the Telegraph she says there are several others in prison who did similar things but who haven't been championed by the right in the same way she has.

Punishment we’re good at; prison sentences have increased dramatically over the years - deterrence we’re not so good at. In fact your average man on the street probably wouldn’t think it works at all. But in this case it probably has made the right wing twarrerati think twice about calling for riot arson murder znd mass deportation for a group that had nothing to do with the crime.

One of the things that has always puzzled me about this case is that the day after the Southport murders, the police announced that the murderer was a British citizen born in this country, but the right wingers still kept trying to burn down the hotels housing asylum seekers.

Some could have been lefties ?

You’ll never know

Sounds like her comments made no difference to the actions of others then.

do you have any idea of the cost of mounting a defence to serious criminal charges? Hint: It’s not £2k per week plus materials.
