It's Probably True...

Defendant Jasmin Hardie-Clay, 19, had punished herself every day since the incident more than the court could punish her, magistrates were told.

...after all, they are as much use as a wet paper rag when it comes to dangerous dog owners.

The defendant admitted that the Ridgeback/ Staffordshire cross named Bud, was dangerously out of control at Monger Road, Wrexham, in April.

But in the circumstances she was given a three year conditional discharge.

See...?

North East Wales Magistrates’ Court at Mold was told that Bud, owned by a relative, had since been signed over to the police and had been destroyed.

It's like an axe murderer getting let off with a warning because he's didpoised on the weapon.
