A violent and abusive man will be able to spend time with his girlfriend again after she begged a court to remove a restraining order.
*boggle*
Darren Stone, 42, of Willow Tree Court, Hawthorn Avenue, Colchester, breached the order less than a fortnight after being released from prison, Colchester Magistrates’ Court heard.
He’s 42. He’s not going to change, love.
Despite a history of abuse, the restraining order was changed from a total ban on seeing Nicola Harvey to a ban from her home after she kept contacting him.
Couldn’t they just do
her for contempt, or something? Incitement, maybe?
Sharon Hall, prosecuting, told the court Stone had been in the relationship with Ms Harvey for two-and-a-half years and had previously been convicted of attacks against her.
What a waste of the court’s time
that was, then.
The Crown Prosecution Service opposed any changes to the order.
Why? It’s her lookout, frankly!
Miss Hall said: “She is a very high risk.
“The purpose of the order is to protect the victim, even if the victim does not want to be protected herself.”
Stop wasting your breath, and the court’s time. There’s no children, so let them wallow in their own depravity…
Ms Harvey told the court: “We are quite happy.
“We have a couple of issues, but we want to be together.”
Until you have the next falling-out, I suppose?
Rosemary Stamp, chairman of the bench, told Ms Harvey: “You have been kicked in the head and we are concerned you are not getting the protection you need.”
Ms Harvey insisted they wanted to work it out.
Yup, she’s been kicked in the head, alright. I just can’t figure out if it’s too much, or not enough…
“The purpose of the order is to protect the victim, even if the victim does not want to be protected herself.”
ReplyDeleteThat sentence neatly encapsulates ll that is wrong with society.
Although I suspect it scans better in the original German...
Ms Harvey told the court: “We are quite happy.
ReplyDelete“We have a couple of issues, but we want to be together.”
He's either rigged like the proverbial "Nagasaki Donkey" .. or he owes her a slack handful of meter tokens .. ;)
The whole can be described as " You can save them if they understand what save saves for them

Bye now love have a nice day."
Erin Pizzey's commentaries on violence in relationships would probably be instructive here.

ReplyDeleteEver thought that the time wasted on this and many more stupid tarts could be part of the reason that there are so few Police on the streets
"That sentence neatly encapsulates ll that is wrong with society."
ReplyDeleteIt does indeed.
"Bye now love have a nice day."
As Bluekight says, 'If only'!
"Erin Pizzey's commentaries on violence in relationships would probably be instructive here."
It would indeed, but when you've a narrative to defend, no-one's interested in hearing anything that doesn't conform to their worldview.
Probably why Pizzey is no longer flavour of the month.
"Ever thought that the time wasted on this and many more stupid tarts could be part of the reason that there are so few Police on the streets"
Many, many times...
