Article here. Excerpt:

'Victoria Parry, 30, hit three other cars after downing a bottle of wine.

Judge Sarah Buckingham said Parry, an alcoholic who had escaped an abusive relationship, would have gone "straight down the stairs" to jail if she were a man.

Although Parry "deserved" a prison term, the judge gave her three months to address her issues.

The comments are being investigated by a judicial watchdog.'

that's funny, but april fool's day has come and gone.

lawyers watching lawyers. wcgw?

next they will be talking about 'professional ethics' and 'justice' and 'truth, equality and fairness'. things they abandoned decades ago. the wolves moved in on those hen houses and as expected, nothing resembling any of that remains. 'when a lie becomes the truth'. 2019
