Russian escort who kicked man to death jailed for three years

[TonyB]

That's total shite. 3 Years is a complete joke.

3 Years for beating someone to death.

There is no way she didn't know the possible outcome of death after such a severe beating.

Maybe if forgot the safe word. You should always pick one thats easy to remember.

My safe word is "don't stop, don't stop, DON'T STOP FUCKER!"
I'm thinking of changing it.

Again it's a question of facts and the available evidence. The jury was not convinced that she intended his death, and nor am I fully convinced that she intended his death. Foresight of death or serious bodily harm is not enough. The principle as set out in R v Woollin [refining the previous Nedrick test] is that:

“Where the charge is murder and in the rare cases where the simple direction is not enough, the jury should be directed that they are not entitled to find the necessary intention, unless they feel sure that death or serious bodily harm was a virtual certainty (barring some unforeseen intervention) as a result of the defendant's actions and that the defendant appreciated that such was the case.”

Obviously there are a number of issues surrounding intention and evidence which can reduce a case from murder to manslaughter, and it has been suggested that the offences should be merged and given different levels of murder. Why the present distinction is important is that manslaughter can attract anything from a suspended sentence to life imprisonment.

You also have to factor in her story about his demanding, being intoxicated, etc. which would have had an impact on the jury.

Didn't we already discuss this one, or was that on another forum? I wonder if I'm spreading myself too thin?

Never spread yourself too far Kate,and we did discuss this already,she got off light.

WOW a brutal attack if it was self defence you don't cut a phone wire or delete messages to cover your tracks you would fight to get out not to hang around well i wouldn't and i would report it to the police if it's self defence. 3 years minus her remand not long at all she could do that sentence standing on her head.
