She said in the first incident, she was walking in the street with her daughter when her boyfriend stopped her, told her that it was the end and then poured petrol over her head.
In the second incident, she was coming from church when she found him waiting for her in their backroom. "Before I could think, he threw a bucket full of acid over me," she said.
===========================================================================
Surely this is attempted murder!!! Judges needs to be tested before they appear in court for levels of intoxication or something like that. How is this sentence aligned to the perpetrator's actions

Mgeez, this is what I talked about yesterday when I commented on the female prisoners going on hunger strike article. Authorities simply do not take violence against women serious enough and some women are driven to murder to escape an abusive partner. Sadly, in my humble opinion, authorities are especially reluctant to act on violence against black women. During my time in prison, I obviously saw many na.ked bodies. I can remember one black women who did not have scars all over her body. She stood out because she was the exception. The rest told hor.ror stories of abuse by partners and indifference by the police when they want to open a case.

Jerico, that is not true. A day is a day in prison. This guy will serve 3 years inside, and then 3 years on parole outside. When you are on parole, you still belong to DCS, and if you scr.ew up, you'll go back to serve the remainder of your sentence.

====================================================================
Correct, however most people seem to be sorry when they are caught and it is my conviction that this particular individual would not have been, because he repeated his actions, which demonstrates premeditation in this regard hence I am convinced that the sentence and the actions can not be reconciled.

UNFORTUNATELY FOR MOST PEOPLE UP IN THIS BLOG

Law is like Mathematics

One plus one is two not eleven

Sentences equate the crime

-Three years for attack with intent to do grevious bodily harm
-Three years for protection order contravention
(who doesnt understand these two things?)

Punishments by court are also mitigated and argued

Justice is fairness
fairness is played for benefit of both sides- NEVER TAKE SIDES

I KNOW THE WOMAN IS ANGRY
but thats the way it is

The Sebola likes the sentence!!

I am not attacking anyone here. I'm just surprised as to how most female respond compared to yesterday. The name you called me suits you the best because you cannot see men as human beings.
