No Consequences Britain...

Daniel Dickons knocked the victim off her bike 'for no reason' - causing her to suffer multiple injuries, including a gash to her chin and an exposed kneecap. The 39-year-old was detained at Culver Parade in the Isle of Wight following the attack, while the woman - who had fallen onto the beach below - was taken to hospital.

Just another day in lawless Britain, where no-one is allowed to carry the means to defend oneself, because that is the purview of  the State.

The Isle of Wight Magistrates' Court heard the assault was unprovoked and happened ‘for no reason.’ The woman’s bike landed on top of her, and she was initially unable to move one of her legs. Emergency services attended the scene, including an air ambulance crew. The victim was taken to the hospital and discharged later that night.

Dickons, from the Isle of Wight, was detained at the scene by a member of the public before being arrested by police. The prosecutor told the court it remains unclear why Dickons carried out the attack, although he told officers he ‘thought it would be funny, so he did it.’

Just another Morlock wandering the streets of Britain… 

Dickons pleaded guilty to assault occasioning actual bodily harm. He was handed a 52-week jail term, suspended for 24 months, to include a six-month alcohol treatment requirement and 35 rehabilitation days. Dickons was also ordered to pay £1,000 compensation.

That would be a pathetic sentence for a first time offender. 

Dickons has six previous convictions for six offences dating back to 2008.

Details aren’t given, but I suspect are all the same low impulse control offences which the justice system has so far failed to correct him of, and doesn’t see fit to even try this time. 

Well, Yes, 'Trying To Wipe Away The Evidence Of Their Mistakes' Is What They Always Do!

Children who were groomed, sexually abused and then prosecuted for crimes, including prostitution, are still being failed, the author of a landmark report has said. Baroness Louise Casey, who led the national investigation into grooming gangs, called on the government last year to quash any convictions of victims who were criminalised when they should have been protected.

We really shouldn't have expected anything else of this failing government, should we? 

"Everybody told me that I was this problem - that I was guilty and I had committed a crime," she said. Her criminal record of more than 40 prostitution convictions has prevented her from applying for jobs, going to college, travelling abroad and even volunteering at her children's school. Joanne and thousands of people like her are due to be pardoned for loitering or soliciting, following the new legislation. However, she said the law change does not go far enough.

She has soliciting convictions from when she was aged 18 and was still being trafficked. However, the change in the law does not recognise adult convictions, so those will remain.

They had to draw a line somewhere. And they chose to draw it here.

Baroness Casey said, one year on, the government had made "huge progress in many areas" but on the issue of quashing the convictions of child sexual exploitation victims, "they haven't gone far enough, quickly enough". She said she wanted to hold the government to account.

That's our job, the voters, and we do it by kicking the bastards out. Why don't you concentrate your fire on the people we have no recourse for, the unelected civil serpents who made the decisions?

Fiona said the government's decision to only remove convictions for child prostitution offences feels "like they're trying to wipe away the evidence of their mistakes and their incorrect labelling rather than actually trying to fix an issue".

It feels like it because that's always what they try to do. 

This Is Not Justice!

Zoe Graham, 38, broke down in court as she told a judge she was sorry after smashing her Range Rover into mum-of-three Samantha Keen on August 9, 2023. Graham said she was late to pick up her own kids from school when she overtook a line of cars, illegally crossing a double white line.

The video of the crash is horrific and the perpetrator’s description as ‘the wife of a singer’ set my teeth on edge, I knew straight away, before I googled, we wouldn’t be talking about opera, here. 

Mrs Keen was turning right, crossing the carriageway in front of Graham, who crashed into her at at least 50mph near Ringmer.

After the crash, summer plans were cancelled and the family had to move in with Mrs Keen’s mother.

It's only through modern car design for safety that she isn’t dead, along with her children! 

I have permanent physical and mental difficulties," she said. She suffers from anxiety caused by 'ugly scars on my face' and will need medication for the foreseeable future. Mrs Keen also had to give up kickboxing and experiences increased anxiety in cars.

But this isn’t a court of law, apparently, it’s a circus of competing victim statuses. You’d imagine there’s only one victim here, but no…

Crying in the dock, she said: "I’m so sorry. "My children and I went through nine years of domestic violence."My ex used to make me really late or wouldn’t let me pick them up which made them really anxious. 

"I have an autistic child. 

"When I saw the double white lines. 

"I thought there was a break in the lines. 

"I was a little bit late to pick my boys up. 

"They suffer with anxiety and I felt the need to get there.

I would have thought their ‘anxiety’ would only be heightened by being in a car with someone who drives like this.  But, Reader, it worked:

Lewes Crown Court in Hove heard Graham was originally charged with causing serious injury by dangerous driving. The Crown accepted her guilty plea to the lesser charge of causing serious injury by careless driving

.Once again, the lazy bastards in the CPS dropped the ball!

His Honour Judge David Rennie told Graham: "The pre-sentence report has given me a wealth of information about you, your family and your background. 

"I’ve read references from people who know you very well and they speak very highly of you. 

"I’ve read and considered the report from the consultant psychiatrist. 

"I regard what you did on this occasion as wholly out of character. 

"I have no doubt you are deeply, deeply sorry for what you did to - as you say - another mum."

She was spared jail after admitting causing serious injury by careless driving.

Graham was sentenced to 12 weeks in prison, suspended for 18 months and banned from driving for a year.

Not even banned for life! So much for keeping death off the roads!

At Last, A Magistrate With Some Balls....

...so of course, they censure him:

A magistrate has been given a formal warning after suggesting he would give a 'good hiding' to a defendant who was shouting about being jailed. Paul Gibson, a former magistrate on the South-East Essex bench, admitted he 'let himself down badly' when he lost his composure during a 'difficult and stressful hearing'. He has now been issued with a sanction of formal advice for misconduct following an investigation.

Ridiculous! 

Mr Gibson said he had 'allowed himself to be provoked by the defendant', who had shouted abuse at him and his fellow magistrates from the dock. The defendant had also started filming proceedings on their phone - an offence for which an individual can be found in contempt of court.

Then find him in contempt! 

Senior judge Mr Justice Keehan and Lord Chancellor David Lammy agreed on the sanction for misconduct.

Of course they did… 🙄

It has not disclosed the court at which the exchange happened, nor the name of the defendant or the nature of the offence for which they were sentenced.

I wonder why? 

What A Surprise, Said No-one….

A mother has told a court that she thought her daughter was going to die after she was attacked by a retired police officer’s two rottweilers

.Aha, this case! 

Nigel Gray’s dogs, Indiana and Dakota, ‘tossed the girl around like a toy’ during the incident in Raphael Park, East London.

As we saw from social media, it wasn’t a first attack. 

The attack was the second in two years involving the 63-year-old’s pets, but he was not banned from keeping dogs in the future and he was handed a suspended prison sentence.The elderly victim of the first of Gray’s dogs’ attacks – who had to have his dog put down as a result – called the sentence a ‘joke’.

An elderly man loses his pet and police are not interested and so a child is almost killed. He might be retired but the other cops days should be numbered! 

Gray was not banned from keeping dogs in the future, but the court heard he had already agreed to the two rottweilers being destroyed.

Cant help feeling that was an easy cop-out for him, and now he’s free as a bird to get another mutt and use it as a weapon! 

The Usual Contrast...

The killer:

The benefit claimant, whose only child is in foster care, has amassed a record of criminal offending for repeated shoplifting, theft, drugs and assault in both Scotland and England but has never previously served a jail sentence, the court heard.

The victim:

ex-Royal Marine Alun Harris-Richards...who had an undiagnosed heart disease, 'suffered such physical and emotional stress that he then and there sustained a heart attack, fell to the ground, struck his head and died'.

The punishment...perhaps

A judge told Smith, formerly of North Grimsby, Arbroath, that the only possible punishment for her offending was 'a significant custodial sentence'. The hearing was adjourned for sentencing at a later date and Smith was remanded in prison.

Adjourned so reports can be written, no doubt, reports that will outline how leniency is expected for the killer. They certainly won’t mention the gulf between the victim with his decent life and worthwhile job and the worthless waste of skin who killed him, will they? 

This Needs To Stop...

Calls to leave the ECHR will double after this, and no wonder:

A double murderer who took a prison officer hostage and demanded the release of hate preacher Abu Qatada has been awarded a £240k taxpayer-funded payout. Fuad Awale was transferred to a special separation unit for dangerous convicts after he and another convict ambushed a jail worker and threatened to kill him. Awale used Article 8 of the European Convention of Human Rights (ECHR) to claim his segregation - designed to prevent him harming officers and radicalising inmates - had breached his right to life.

What Home Sec would be idiot enough not to appeal thi... 

David Lammy, the Justice Secretary, has now agreed to pay £7,500 compensation and £234,000 legal costs after the convicted killer stated he had suffered 'severe depression'.

Oh. Of course. I forgot. 

The High Court has ruled in favour of Awale's appeal to the ECHR, with a judge saying there had been a 'significant degree of interference with the claimant's private life', The Telegraph reports.

I know what you’re going to say, Reader, ‘who was the judge?’ It was, of course, the judge who let Harvey Willgoose's murderer go free early, Justice Naomi Ellenbogan!

Robert Jenrick, Conservative shadow justice secretary, has branded the decision a 'sick joke'. He said: 'Labour are cowing to terrorists and the human rights brigade. They must introduce emergency legislation to carve these monsters out of the ECHR immediately. If they don't, we will as soon as Parliament returns.'

Now, it's being reported on Twitter that he'll 'only' see about £7k of that, the rest going to the bloodsucking leeches  lawyers acting for him. But even that's too damn much! And yes, I get my news from Twitter now, and will do, until the MSM starts doing its job properly.

Now I’ve Heard Everything…

Defence lawyer chancing their arm in defending this Liverpool chav with a vicious mutt:

"Unfortunately, she has suffered significantly over the past five years. Her ex-partner had kicked her door in recently. She is a domestic violence victim. This has led to significant issues in her life for a long period, and led to her child being taken away. 

She's the victim here, you callous brutes! Not the poor bloody workman whose face was shredded by her hellhound!  

That may explain some of the way the dog behaved on that occasion.

 What? Seriously? How?

"Certainly, Ms Fitzpatrick is assessed as being a very low risk of reoffending. She has responded well to previous supervision. There are no breaches on her file."

Well done for admitting to the court she's a typical Liverpool recidivist. 

Fitzpatrick has no previous convictions of a similar nature, but was handed a six-week imprisonment suspended for 12 months in April last year for two counts of assaulting an emergency services worker.

They do grow to look like their 'pets', don't they? 

Ms Fitzpatrick is taking steps herself to better understand what she should do with a dog if Capone is returned to her, as well as being committed to attending behavioural management classes to ensure that Capone is suitably behaved.

Well, that won't be needed, the mutt won't be doing it again, as the magistrates sensibly imposed a destruction order. The owner?

'fined £120 and told to pay £300 in compensation, court costs of £85 and a £48 victim surcharge.'

None of that coming anywhere near the true costs, of course. If the court ever sees a single penny... 

I Hate It When A Prediction Comes True..

A woman whose XL bully was shot dead by police has been sentenced after earlier being found guilty of owning a dog dangerously out of control.

Took long enough! Did she get the sentence she deserved? Reader, she did not...

After being handed a rehabilitation order and a £100 fine at the same court on Tuesday, Zaherali said it had "brought tears to my eyes" to have been described by the judge as a "responsible owner". 

Imagine how hard I'm rolling my eyes right now... 

During the sentencing hearing, District Judge Tim Spruce said there had been a "unique combination of circumstances" and Zaherali's offence was the "lowest level" of culpability. Constance Coombes, mitigating, told the sentencing hearing that Zaherali's attempts to identify the officer online "had to be taken in context of her pet being shot in the street" 

"She was never trying to seek retribution or revenge. It was borne out of upset and grief," she said.

So was Lucy Connolly's hastily deleted tweet, no doubt, but that didn't win her any leniency from our wretched so-called 'justice system' did it? Perhaps if she too had been a thick chav who waged a campaign against the police she would have been shown the leniency this underserving nuisance was shown?

While the prosecution had asked for £1,050 to be paid in costs for two trials, which they said had both been fully prepared despite just one having eventually gone ahead, Mr Spruce reduced that sum to £614. 

He also declined a request from the prosecution to disqualify Zaherali from owning dogs.

 Unsurprisingly, this judge has form for being soft on the owners of killer dog breeds. 

"Judge Andrew Lees told Williams "it should never have happened"."

But typically for today's modern judiciary, did absolutely nothing to ensure it wouldn't happen again in future...

Andrew Clark, 43, died in hospital three days after he was struck by Demeish Williams, 30, outside the shop on Upper Elmers End Road in Beckenham at around 8.30pm on March 16. He had become aggressive after Andrew told him he couldn’t cut in front of them in the queue. After a brief argument Williams got a facemask from his car, waited outside for the shop for Andrew, hit him once to the side of the head with an open palm, and shouted “I told you to f***ing apologise”.

Yes, Reader, it's them again.... 

Williams has been jailed for five years and three months. Williams will serve up to two-thirds of the sentence before he is eligible for release, meaning that accounting for time already spent on remand he could be back on the streets by September 2028.

The length of the sentence prompted dismay from Andrew’s family in court as one relative said “this country is a joke” and another called the sentence a “disgrace”.

It is.  

In a statement issued to the press, Andrew’s family said:“We are sincerely grateful to the judge and the court for their thorough consideration of this case, and for recognising the seriousness of this offence.

“For us as a family, this process has exposed the serious shortcomings within our outdated justice system.

“Victims are too often left without the protection, transparency and fairness they deserve.

“An archaic legal framework cannot meet the demands of modern society, nor the needs of victims, their families, friends and wider communities.

“Overcrowded and under-funded prisons place pressure on the courts to sentence based on capacity rather than justice.”

I can't disagree, though I think you give the judge too much credit by believing this lax sentence is due to concerns over space in the prison system, and not simply his own bleeding heart when it comes to the street savagery innate in these people, which he will probably never have to face in his own life, and so he has no concerns about ensuring doesn't proliferate.

Brutally Murdered In The Street, And For What?

A saveloy and chips? Is life so cheap in vibrant, enriched  London? Yes, Reader, it is!

In bodycam footage captured during his arrest, Augustine furiously told police officers: 'I've not murdered nobody... I've not killed no one. What you talking about?' Augustine, who refused to attend court, was handed a life sentence with a minimum term of 23 years before he can be considered for release by Her Honour Judge Sarah Whitehouse KC at the Old Bailey today.

As always, this wasn't his first rodeo: 

The judge said Augustine, who has a host of previous convictions, may never be released from prison.

Sure, we believe you. 

Are You Not Reassured?

Scotland’s most senior law officer has moved to reassure victims of sexual abuse that they will be protected after a supreme court ruling warned that Scottish laws designed to limit intrusive cross-examination could be breaching men’s right to a fair trial. In a strongly worded statement, the lord advocate, Dorothy Bain KC, said: “I would like to make clear that I understand sexual abuse inflicted upon women and children to be the single greatest challenge our justice system faces.

A justice system in a country still confused about what women actually are? WEll, good luck with that, dear!  

“It is unacceptable and victims should feel able to speak out without further fear,” she continued, before underlining: “The supreme court ruling does not alter the statutory protections for those giving evidence.”

Then why have a Supreme Court at all? if you're just going to ignore what they say because you think you know better  

Last Wednesday, the supreme court delivered its judgment in the case of two men appealing against rape convictions delivered in Scottish courts. Although both appeals were dismissed, the five judges ruled that Scotland’s courts needed to change their approach to the admission of evidence in such cases, warning its current process “is liable to result in violations of defendants’ rights to a fair trial under article 6 of the convention”.

So the lord advocate would rather not have fair trials under their jurisdiction? 

'A tragic accident occured with a set of circumstances I had no control over.'

Mr Harrison, who joined the Met in 1982 but has been on restricted duties since the crash, denied suggestions by prosecutor Michelle Heeley KC that he 'made a mistake' that day.

But as usual, it's not one he's going to be made to pay for.

Ms Heeley replied: 'You did have control, you could have chosen to stop your bike and properly control that crossing.'

Mr Harrison replied: 'Yes.'

The prosecutor said: 'And you didn't.'

Mr Harrison replied: 'No.' 

But he denied he had been complacent.

 Perhaps she should have used a different word? Or asked about his training, maybe the Met sent him to China for it?

Mr Harrison said he did not believe his driving fell below standards or strayed from his training.

That's probably true, since their training seems to dictate they ride like bats out of hell and screw anybody that gets in their way! The State must be saddened that in this particular case, they can't charge anyone else with the death....

Would A Man Who Did This Be Treated Leniently By The Justice System?

These days, who knows if this is the Pussy Pass in action or just normal for our debased justice system. I honestly don't know any more...

Mother-of-three Catherine 'Cat' Lloyd, 44, pounced from behind her gate and smashed her victim over the top of the head in a narrow alleyway between their homes in a late-night attack his family say he was lucky to come out of alive. In new CCTV from the night obtained by the Daily Mail, she then smashes him over the head with a wooden bat with the help of her ex-boyfriend whom she had called over to join in.

Nor was this just a single incident, but the culmination of a campaign of terror: 

The horrifying double attack, caught on CCTV, followed a three-year campaign of abuse against the victim's grandparents-in-law in which she made 1am death threats, branded them 'paedophiles' and 'murderers' online and even threw bricks at them.

so why the leniency? Just because she’d reproduced?  

Lloyd - who has two young twin girls and a teenage boy - admitted grievous bodily harm without intent and was sentenced to 10 months in jail this week, but she has been released back onto the streets due to time she has served in custody.

While in custody, she was innocent at least in a technical sense - so why should that time be counted as part of her sentence? 

'It's such a deflation that we've waited all this time, it's finally gone to court, we had all the evidence and we just think where's the justice in that? 'Until the bailiffs come round, she's still got the keys to the place. What's to stop her coming round?

There truly is no justice in that!  

'She's not even in prison anymore. There's a restraining order but that's not stopped her before. There's physically nothing to stop her running back again.'

Which doesn’t stop the police from churning out their pre-written statement of self-congratulation, of course

DCI Lloyd Davis said: 'Catherine Lloyd's behaviour in this case was completely unacceptable.

'Irrespective of any ongoing dispute, violence like this is not the answer. I'm pleased the victim can now move on.'

How can they do that?  

Who Is Running Our Prisons?

Manchester Arena terrorist Hashem Abedi has had full prison privileges restored for 'good behaviour' - despite an alleged brutal attack on guards in April. That reportedly means that he will be able to use the gym again and spend more time outside of his cell, The Sun reported. Other perks as a result of his regime being upgraded from 'basic' to 'standard' are believed to include additional canteen credit and more cash to spend on phone calls - and even a better TV package.

Beacause it appears to be the people who should have no say at all. Has the Howard League for Penal Reform taken a leaf from the general progressive movement and started their own Long March? 

Prison authorities are concerned that he could encourage other prisoners to carry out attacks of their own, a source told The Sun. That raises the question of why Abedi's regime has been relaxed if officials still believe he is an active threat.

Errr, quite! And also the question of why he's not yet been charged with that assault?  

The Ministry of Justice declined to comment. The prisons minister has been approached for comment.

If the prison officer's union calls for a strike, I wouldn't blame them. 

He's Just Proving It Was The Right Sentence All Along...

The trial of an alleged escapee who spent hours on the roof of a high-security prison in his underpants is set to be the first time the stress caused by indeterminate sentences can be used as a legal defence.

Yes, of course, it's the 'Guardian' taking out an onion for a criminal again. 

The 38-year-old has been in jail for 13 years, much of that in isolation, after receiving an IPP sentence for robbing a takeaway at gunpoint in 2011. He says he does not remember the crime because he was drunk and high on drugs.

Just the sort of criminal who should be locked up until he’s safe to live in society, in other words. So who is complaining? 

The case raises once again the issue of IPPs, which 2,544 prisoners were still serving in March despite the sentences being abolished in 2012. The legislation that ended what campaigners describe as a cruel system was not retrospective.

A spokesperson for Reform and Rebuild, a prison advocacy group which is set to give evidence in the trial, said it was “well overdue” for courts to take into account the stress caused by IPPs.“Nobody’s been resentenced yet, but we are looking at human rights. That’s another battle but we will get it. We’ll definitely get it because it’s cruel and inhumane. I think if we don’t keep fighting and jumping up and down, then it’ll just be forgotten.”

Progressive do-gooders, of course! 

Campaigners have made some progress over the years, for example in shortening the licences of those released from IPPs from 10 years to three years. Nichol said this “meant some people could go on holiday with their families and have a life again, because 10 years is a long time after you’ve suffered”.

Shsme their victims often can't do the same, eh? Their suffering rarely ends, thanks to do-gooders like you.

Judges Like Mark Watson Are The Reason We Have A Dangerous Dog Problem In This Country

An XL Bully owner whose dog attacked a child and left her with permanent scarring has walked free from court.

Typical, but at least the mutt got the needle, right? Right?

Despite causing injuries so severe that the child had to take time off school, the dog has now been returned home to its owner, Elizabeth Boot.

If the cops had done their job right, the useless judge at least wouldn't have been able to do this!

Handing her a 16-month jail term, suspended for 18 months, Judge Mark Watson said: 'This was a frightening and scary incident, it must have been, and was made worse by your response to it. 'Rather than show concern for the girl, you were more concerned about Rocky and the impact on you and your family. 'It was selfish behaviour and behaviour you should be ashamed of.

It's typical behaviour from the women who fawn over these ugly mutts - shouldn't someone like a judge be educated on this bizarre phenomenon, like they have supposedly been educated on who beaten women plead for the release of the man eho beat them up? Sadkly, the only 'expert evidence' the idiot judge appeards to have relioed on conbcerned the mutt.

But it was a quick bite and I am satisfied it was snapping rather than the dog taking hold and mauling.

How about throwing in some victim blaming too, judge? You mifght as wel go for broke! 

'And (having heard the expert evidence) I am satisfied that Rocky does not pose a danger to the public. This was not an incident out of the blue without explanation and (concerns) the behaviour of children around dogs.'

Charming! What did she do to set the vicious mutt off, 'your honour'? Breathe? 

As part of the suspended sentence order, the judge ordered the defendant to attend 15 rehabilitation sessions and contribute £1,000 towards the £12,000 kenneling costs which have already been incurred.

Kennelling cost that also wouldn't have neen incurred if cops took the view that an ARV turning up to these jobs should be SOP. 

This Is Not Justice, And Will Not Help Recruitment Of Teaching Staff

A schoolgirl has been detained for 15 years for attempting to murder two teachers and a pupil by stabbing them with a blade at a school in south Wales. The girl, who was 13 at the time, attacked Fiona Elias and Liz Hopkin and the pupil during a breaktime at Ysgol Dyffryn Aman in Ammanford, Carmarthenshire. She had admitted three counts of wounding with intent and a further count of possession of a bladed article at a school but denied the attempted murders. However, she was found guilty of the offences by a jury at Swansea crown court.

It doesn't appear to have been a tough decision for the jury... 

The girl, who cannot be named, will be eligible for release on licence after serving half of the sentence but the judge, Paul Thomas KC, told her she could be recalled to custody if she behaved badly again once freed.

'Behaved badly'..? She's not been found guilty of playing knock down ginger or scrumping apples, has she? 

After the stabbing, the teenager told police officers: “That’s one way to be a celebrity,” adding: “I’m pretty sure this is going to be on the news, so more eyes are going to be looking at me.”

And her rampage didn't stop once she was caught. 

Thomas said the girl had made a “serious threat” to someone while being held in custody after the attacks and accepted she would pose a “potential risk” when she was finally released. He said: “A lot depends on how you change and mature and that can’t be predicted at the moment.”

Then why take the chance? Oh, but you aren't, are you? You're going to let the public take it, as always. 

Caroline Rees KC, defending, said the girl had difficulty expressing emotions but had expressed remorse. She said she was a “very complicated” child who had suffered “significant adversity” and had “slipped through the net”. But Rees said: “She is so young there is a possibility for change.”

Is there really? 

'Today's sentence is not the outcome Isaac's family had hoped for - and certainly not the justice they feel he deserved.'

Well, they'll just have to lump it, like everyone else whose loved ones have been slaughtered by mental patients who are being 'cared for in the community'. This case does at least reverse the usual racial element.

In sentencing, Judge Blair said: 'It was a racist attack. Let's make no bones about it, the things you said at the time and afterwards make plain that that was a feature of your behaviour at that moment in time.

'I'm faced with a very stark choice because for the facts that have been described to me you plainly are a danger and this is a case where, as I have already made comment in the submissions of the barristers, requires imprisonment for life.

'I have been persuaded that it would be inappropriate to pass a hybrid order.

'I am going to impose a hospital order under section 37 of the mental health act with restrictions required under 41 of the mental health act.

'You can expect that you will be very much older before any risk will be taken for you beginning to have any access to the public.'

I wouldn't be too sure about that, if I were you... 

When Is An Acquittal Not An Acquittal?

The answer would appear to be, when it's a 'offences against women' issue:

The change is part of the government's plans give more protection to victims of stalking in England and Wales - with Home Secretary Yvette Cooper pledging the government will use "every tool available" to take power away from abusers. About one in five women aged 16 and over in England and Wales have been a victim of stalking at least once, external, official figures show.

The news that the identity of the (often anonymous) stalker will be disclosed to the victim garnered all the headlines, but this bit is rather more sinister:

If an accused person is acquitted, courts will still be able to apply protection orders on them if there is sufficient evidence indicating they still pose a risk to someone.

If they have been acquitted, then the court hasn't proved that to the satisfaction of a jury, and therefore that should be the end of it.
