Oxford student who stabbed boyfriend could be spared jail 'because of her extraordinary talent'

qronick · 2017-05-16T21:52:01+00:00

No less than four flattering pictures of the cute, skinny, blonde, smart, female defendant. Hmm.

randomaccount2017d · 2017-05-16T19:17:28+00:00

Absolutely disgusting. If the shoe was on the other foot, her boyfriend most probably would not have been given a pass. Instead, the college and the academic community would have gladly disowned him. Dr. Tim Hunt made a single sexist comment, and the establishment berated him. This women violently reacts to an argument, and her college is allowing her back for being "that bright".

Moreover, this is not a merely "a complete one-off" event. This speaks to her temperament. Many of us have heated arguments with others, but we don't become violent. Such a person should not be allowed to enter a profession such as medicine

Cannon1 · 2017-05-16T17:30:20+00:00

What an entitled cunt.

lucid-tits · 2017-05-16T19:22:05+00:00

I wonder if people who threw a fit over brock turners supposedly light sentence will care about this. After all, they assumed it was because he's a privileged white man on the swim team

ScottPress · 2017-05-17T02:02:09+00:00

She stabbed a guy because they argued. It'll happen again sooner or later.

quackquackoopz · 2017-05-17T02:53:08+00:00

I wonder what her boyfriend thinks. Stabbed, punched, shit thrown at him, zero justice.

Beltox2pointO · 2017-05-16T22:11:34+00:00

"Now in Italy with her mother"

I think this is more leaning towards wealth privilege not so much female.

tehufn · 2017-05-17T00:47:49+00:00

To those worried about her wielding a scalpel,

"However, she is unlikely to be able to become a surgeon as her criminal conviction would have to be disclosed, said Jim Sturman QC, defending."

I only hope that ends up the case.

nforne · 2017-05-17T04:49:36+00:00

... she attended Sir James Henderson British School of Milan, a £16,000-a-year international school in the Italian city.

She left the school in 2011 and began her degree at Oxford in the same year.

She had had a "very troubled life” and had been abused by another former partner, her defence lawyer told the court.

Troubled life? Hmmmm. Seems there isn't a woman alive that can't play the victim card.

_vend7u · 2017-05-16T23:05:41+00:00

Can a petition not be made for this women to be put on trial again, this time under a different judge?

She's clearly being treated differently because she's a women; which is discrimination and sexist. If she has a history of drug addiction and is this emotionally unstable she is clearly not fit to everyone a surgeon regardless of her "talent". There has to be something which can even done.

mwobuddy · 2017-05-16T20:33:37+00:00

This is how movie stars or high power execs get heavily reduced time, or house arrest, except to continue their job.

Its all about 'what you contribute' to society. For thousands of years, society has granted special privileges to people who produce more, overlooking minor or even major infractions. In the extreme, a despotic ruler thousands of years ago could murder or rape his own people and he'd still be beloved by most of them as it was his 'right' to do these things since he was 'the ruler'.

We have a thing called dominance hierarchy. Your value gives you leeway.

Movie stars get to either go to rehab, house arrest, whatever, for crimes, and continue making movies. If movie production stopped because of them, that's a lot of people out of work, etc.

A regular person doing the same crime, even say, a poor person, such as someone who's a poverty line drug addict, gets prison instead.

This isn't new.

2017-05-16T19:52:13+00:00

Pussy pass!

DrewFlan · 2017-05-16T20:42:59+00:00

Brock Turner.

TexasTango · 2017-05-17T03:04:44+00:00

So a junkie med student hmm Yeah I'm pretty sure I wouldn't want her giving me surgery, And I wouldn't call her "bright" seeing as she's probably thrown it all away because of her temper. Karma

2017-05-17T03:49:59+00:00

This is amazing. I can now go out and stab anyone I want cause I can code. That's an extraordinary talent right? Great way to set precedence...

timeforknowledge · 2017-05-17T14:19:08+00:00

Judge Pringle was told Woodward had become addicted to drugs and had previously been in an abusive relationship with a previous boyfriend.

Yeah and now she is abusing another boyfriend in a new relationship

Attcus · 2017-05-17T19:20:44+00:00

She does have "Extraordinary talent." If she can do that with a butter knife just imagine what she could do with a scalpel.

UDT22 · 2017-05-17T08:10:37+00:00

If the sexes were reversed, the guy would be in the joint for about 15 to 20 years.

starkillerrx · 2017-05-17T03:26:28+00:00

Good idea, let the psychotic murderer pursue a career on medicine.

That will definitely not backfire.

srbsask · 2017-05-17T03:35:22+00:00

So she gets out of stabbing someone because she is really skilled with a knife?

lillbich · 2017-05-17T11:55:19+00:00

I know this is the point but imagine if she was a guy, who stabbed his girlfriend and got off because he was smart

double-happiness · 2017-05-17T12:20:18+00:00

Just by comparison, a guy I know got sent down for two months for selling two ecstasy pills. And he wasn't even a habitual dealer, he just got them 'on request' for someone.

2017-05-17T12:29:22+00:00

Oh, ah, she was "abused in another relationship". She is not guilty, society and we men are the culprits in this story. We with our shady strategies molded and transformed this would-be-surgeon-to-cure-heart-disease in a monster, albeit just for a minute or two, and ruined her brilliant unknown career.

timeforknowledge · 2017-05-17T14:16:02+00:00

Unbelievable. Disgusting.

Picture this, her boyfriend drunk and on drugs, threw a laptop, glass, and jam jar at her, then lunged at her with a bread knife stabbing her in the leg.

He would be vilified locked up and forgotten about.

Rethgil · 2017-05-17T21:19:36+00:00

Amazing how many feminist lurkers there are here today. Any story that they know is going to unify anti feminism or the MRA, and suddenly a whole bunch of fem lurker trolls pop up on the appropriate sub. See how many you can spot.

Then report them to the mods as we've been asked to repeatedly.

Ransal · 2017-05-16T22:10:06+00:00

So is she actually talented or is she another AA slot at the University and Feminists are trying to pull "if you put her in prison it'll harm the quotas we want for women, which will harm future women" as being her "talent".

ColorMeOffended · 2017-05-17T02:52:21+00:00

Wow sounds like a similar dynamic to Brock Turner (yes I know she's not a rapist), and I hated that judge's decision and explanation for it. I guess in both cases, the judges took a rehabilitation approach versus a punishment one, a misstep in my eyes in both situations.

BlackBoxInquiry · 2017-05-17T02:36:15+00:00

What if someone were to do the same to her and they had the same talent?

Could they get out of legal trouble because they're "special"?

2017-05-17T02:26:36+00:00

The extraordinary talent of having a vagina. Wow.

Raising_Cain · 2017-05-16T23:39:45+00:00

So she takes an oath to protect life until she gets tired of that stuff

ENTP · 2017-05-17T01:35:20+00:00

Lets feed that narcissistic borderline ego some more, why don't we?

the_unseen_one · 2017-05-17T04:29:51+00:00

How fucking talented would a man have to be to be excused of stabbing his girlfriend? He would have to be our only hope facing a genocide or war with aliens or some shit, AND be world famous to be let off if he did that. And yet she's a no name student and is probably going to get off.

2017-05-17T04:44:29+00:00

This one easy trick to help avoid prison....

Have a vagina.

aazo5 · 2017-05-17T05:11:16+00:00

"She's unlikely to become a surgeon"

Umm I don't think there should even be a chance of her becoming a surgeon after this.

Retromind · 2017-05-17T06:46:42+00:00

I refuse to believe this

CptFizz · 2017-05-17T07:09:15+00:00

Pretty much every time I read such a story it's from the UK. What's the legal situation there? Are judges free to do whatever they want or do they have laws?

Bestoftherest222 · 2017-05-17T07:10:17+00:00

You know what doesn't make sense? How will she get to be a surgeon with an attempted murder investigation in her back ground. Hell doesn't her losing her cool and going crazy disqualify her from the running to be more than a General practitioner?

mcavvacm · 2017-05-17T07:17:08+00:00

Irresponsible actions no longer have consequences. If you have a vagina that is.

magicalraven · 2017-05-17T08:20:35+00:00

"White male privilege"

dedasdude · 2017-05-17T09:19:31+00:00

She has gone girl eyes

Sbeast · 2017-05-17T10:59:04+00:00

The judge (Ian Pringle) must be either sexist or classist, and a violent individual will be free to attack again.

2017-05-17T12:37:52+00:00

...and because the judge got a boner.

2017-05-17T12:52:09+00:00

Christ Church College

WWJD? Stab a muthafucka, apparently.

Mythandros · 2017-05-17T13:08:02+00:00

I hate when criminals are given a pussy pass. It doesn't matter how intelligent she is.. She stabbed a dude with a knife. She's a criminal and should not be above the law. She needs to go to jail.

oliverburns18 · 2017-05-17T14:22:38+00:00

Hopefully this man appeals the decision

2017-05-17T16:25:44+00:00

I don't think it should even be considered assault because women have been oppressed for centuries. Men are the one who have power. Just think how much of an asshole that man should be for making the woman angry. Women are such oppressed fragile things I can't imagine the mental agony she has gone through now. Women are oppressed. Women are oppressed. Say this hundred times. Otherwise you're a misogynist and a rape apologist.

guillemqv · 2017-05-17T17:07:51+00:00

Wtf, that must be a joke

Rethgil · 2017-05-17T20:55:36+00:00

This is how bad female privilege in the UK has become now. Not even joking.

Vangotten · 2017-05-17T23:02:16+00:00

Im speechless,what in the actual fuck.

Stunner900 · 2017-05-18T01:27:17+00:00

Easy solution, death penalty

2017-05-17T04:08:12+00:00

Britain is a silly place devoid of logic...

Regnes · 2017-05-17T07:27:47+00:00

They don't offer a lot of details about the case itself, but it is a tricky situation. The damage the conviction would do to her career far exceeds the punishment intended for such a crime. I don't think she should get off easy all the same, if she's going to avoid jail time, she needs other consequences to be weighted.

QuasiQwazi · 2017-05-17T01:43:57+00:00

White women all have a get out of jail card.

2017-05-17T02:51:58+00:00

She ... had been abused by another former partner, her defence lawyer told the court.

What a surprise! /s

aznsniperx3 · 2017-05-16T18:56:08+00:00

I mean she was abused from a previous partner. I'm not defending her action but that could mess up anyone.
