Woman found guilty of defamation for describing her exh's DV

[Bluestitch]

He put his hands round her throat. But the judge decided he was only trying to silence her, not kill her so she shouldn't have used the term 'strangled'. And she has also been suffering cancer during this legal battle. She's taking it to the Supreme Court, good for her.

What planet is the judge living on?

Is there a fund we can donate to?

It's absolutely awful. I'd happily donate to any legal fund.

WTAF

What the actual HELL?!

And yes I would also happily donate......

What

The

Hell

You can donate to CWJ.

Definitely needs a legal fund if there isn't one already. Beyond words. Then they want to tell us how far we've come with equality 😡

He was arrested multiple times for threats, breached non molestation orders etc but when he grabbed her by the throat so hard that the police found handprints on her neck she should have considered the accuracy of the dictionary of the term strangled. It's shocking that the court of appeal has already rejected her case.

Cross post. Will do so

Fucking unbelievable.

That poor woman.

Can't help but notice that it has shades of "nagging wife" to that verdict

Looks like the judge is also heading up the spycops inquiry! That's doomed too, then.

Sounds like strangling to me. But hey, I own a vagina and have a modest bank account, what would I know.

Dear god. Sickening

Maybe the judge needs to have the same done to him to help him think of the correct words to describe it

That's horrendous wtaf?!?!

I will donate. This is shocking.

If there is a crowdfunder set up I’m in.

This is absolutely awful.

Along with the "sexual kink" defence for murder and the recent prevalence of false rape cases we have to face the fact that "law and justice" has gone back to the 1980s for women.

I vote for crone island, especially with the Brexit situation. Maybe women should move up to Scotland en masse?

It's appalling. Just to link up the other thread on this
