‘Yesterday, Jackson had posed for Instagram photos holding stacks of money in a luxury SUV outside a house in Los Angeles, where he had located himself earlier in the day on his Instagram stories. A friend had also posted photos of the pair together outside the house with an address number visible, leading to fears that the house was subsequently targeted in a robbery.‘



madness that .. in america they don't give a damm they will come locked and loaded
 
It's a tiny scratch on his head mate, look at the context in this individual case, it's ridiculous they wanted to prosecute, we aren't talking about golf clubs being involved are we.

Police caution and referred to a counsellor would have been the way to deal with this case, police using a sledgehammer to crack a nut.
The last time I checked, a weapon is a weapon in terms of aggravating factors during sentencing, and a solid lamp would (in my experience) be labelled as one.

Furthermore, an additional aggravating factor in any choice for prosecution would be whether there was mens rea, and the status of the victim (err, asleep).

Add to that, the last time I checked common assault does not require the victim to have suffered any physical injury to meet the threshold for prosecution.

The same to be honest. I was of the opinion it was a serious assault, but it was only a common assault. Probably could have been dealt with via a caution and that’s it.
A caution? Again, consider all the above. If the circs. are as reported, a caution would be unduly lenient.

Yea I mean that wasn't advisable
 

I can never understand it when a parent decides to murder their children as well as kill themselves. The hatred for their ex partner must be beyond insanity.
@COYBL25 might remember this one, but there was a case back in the 90s where a husband had killed his wife - they lived on Whitehedge in the newer homes.

Anyway, he laughingly (literally, smirking) said under interview that he'd killed his children too. What absolute monster can laugh at even the thought of that?

Fortunately, the children weren't in the house as he explained, and they were actually at her mothers safe and sound. Some people simply aren't wired right!

There was another one in 2008, where a fella jumped off a balcony whilst on holiday in Greece with his son and daughter, after his wife told him it was over - killing his son.

It makes my blood boil thinking how anyone could do that to their own children. Children in general are the people we need to protect more than any others.

But your own? The lowest of the bloody low, and I hope there's a special place in hell for them to rot in!

First offence and being a common assault with no complaint I can’t see why not. That being said she would have to plead guilty which it seems unlikely she wanted to do hence it going to trial.
