A Barking woman who slashed another woman with a knife outside a pre-school in Essex will be sentenced next month.
Solie Essla, 19, of Cavendish Gardens, Barking...
That's a good old Barking name, eh..?
...appeared at Ipswich Crown Court on Thursday (August 25). She denied wounding a woman with intent to cause grievous bodily harm, but admitted a less serious offence of unlawfully wounding her.
There's the CPS again, taking the path of least resistance! Still, maybe it was a one-off inci...
She also pleaded guilty to having a knife in Forest Road, Colchester, and assaulting another woman by beating.
Oh.
Steven Dyble for Essla, who has no previous convictions, described his client as “vulnerable”.
Funny, that sounds a lot more like the description that should be applied to the victims to me...
Recorder Sarah Przybylska agreed to adjourn sentence on Essla until September 16 for a pre-sentence report and remanded her in custody.
*sighs*
Vulnerable to what? I doubt that word even has any real meaning anymore
ReplyDeleteAt least she was remanded in custody.
ReplyDeleteWhy does "no previous convictions" always now come out sounding suspiciously like "got away with exactly the same thing hundreds of times before"? Which should put the "multiple convictions for" crowd in an even worse light, yah think?
ReplyDeleteAnd why do I always have a certain Shakespearean "First ..." quote on the tip of my tongue as a solution to all this?
"Vulnerable to what? I doubt that word even has any real meaning anymore"
ReplyDeleteIndeed!
"Why does "no previous convictions" always now come out sounding suspiciously like "got away with exactly the same thing hundreds of times before"? "
Quite!
