Lavinia Woodward: Oxford student 'too bright' for prison is spared jail for stabbing boyfriend

Quote:

An Oxford University student who a judge suggested was too bright to go to prison has been spared jail for stabbing her boyfriend in a drink and drug-fuelled attack.

Aspiring heart surgeon Lavinia Woodward, 24, knifed Thomas Fairclough in the leg with a bread knife and hurled a glass, a laptop and a jam jar at him during the violent outburst at Christ Church college.

Judge Ian Pringle QC previously said a custodial sentence may be "too severe" because it could ruin Woodward's promising medical career, after she admitted unlawfully wounding the Cambridge University student.

Although the offence would usually demand a prison term, the judge hinted he would show leniency to the "extraordinary able young lady" at a hearing in May, because her actions appeared to be "a complete one-off".

Stabbing someone in the leg with a butter knife is not a one off. Unless he came at her with a butcher knife first then that sounds like a well-hidden personality disorder.

And shock of shocks, she's a pretty, blonde, white girl.

The male equivalent of a pisshead, drug abuser who stabs/assaults his girlfriend would have got a prison sentence #js

Uh, nah. Not remotely.

EDIT: Nevermind, I misread. I could see a prettied up white boy getting a pass to preserve their future a la the Stanford rape case though.

Hitting every privilege point always helps.

The guy he explained would not have gotten away with it I would assume.
