'Extraordinarily able' Oxford student gets suspended sentence for stabbing ex-boyfriend

Article here. Excerpt:

'An aspiring Oxford University heart surgeon student -- whose career a judge said he didn't want to ruin -- received a 10-month suspended prison sentence Monday for stabbing her ex-boyfriend.

Lavinia Woodward, 24, previously pleaded guilty to attacking her partner during a drug and booze-filled binge at Christ Church College last December.

"It seems to me that if this was a one-off, a complete one-off, to prevent this extraordinarily able young lady from following her long-held desire to enter the [medical] profession she wishes to would be a sentence which would be too severe," Judge Ian Pringle told the aspiring heart surgeon during a court appearance in May.

Woodward was handed the 10-month sentence -- suspended for 18 months -- on Monday for the attack on Thomas Fairclough. Woodward hurled a laptop, a glass and a jar of jelly at him during an argument before stabbing him in the leg with a bread knife, The Sun reported.

"Principally, at the age of 24 you have no previous convictions of any nature whatsoever,” Pringle said, according to Sky News. “I find that you were genuinely remorseful following this event and, indeed, it was against your bail conditions, you contacted your partner to fully confess your guilt and your deep sorrow for what happened.'

reminds me of the pretty blond married teacher(?) in fla. a few years ago, caught w/ the young boy. the male judge said she was too pretty to go to jail. that is until she quickly resumed the 'relationship' w/ the kid. this one sliced and diced her bf but she has too promising a career (surgeon) to do jail time. anybody think a guy carving up his gf would get off w/ probation?

until you have had your life destroyed, your future put into the hands of an x who hates you more each passing day, and become an occasional visitor in her children's lives, if you behave, its hard to get a handle on how warped the courts have become regarding 'equality'.

here's some new math for you.

lawyers + feminists = scam

note: this simple equation can be applied to any situation.
