>jailed for 17 years
There is the problem. Life in solitaire, nuts in a vice.
She described the assault as the worst attack she had endured in 20 years of domestic violence.
Sorry, no sympathy here...
Good Lord, just take him out back and shoot him
His girlfriend was 65? Sheesh. Did he get pissed over losing a bridge game?
17 years, no death by hanging, fir,e drawn and quartered guillotined. We are pathetic when it comes to an eye for an eye
From the article :
The shocking assault continued when he put a weightlifting strap around her neck and strung her up by it.
Prosceutor Miss Collins said: ‘She was being hanged and she thought she was going to die.’
Cookson eventually let the victim go and she escaped into the living room where she lay on the sofa all night.
The next day she was taken to hospital where she eventually told nurses what had really happened to her.
Miss Collins added: ‘She was seen at hospital by medics who saw this small frail elderly lady covered in bruises and scalds and totally petrified and then the truth came out.’
Police were called and one of the officers said her injuries were ‘among the most severe’ she had ever witnessed during her police career.
In her victim impact statement, the woman said: ‘I can’t believe he went this far, before the worst I had to put up with was a punch or a slap.’
The court heard Cookson had a long history of previous convictions with 36 offences since 1990 including including shoplifting, theft, firearms and wounding his partner.
Theresa Hunt, mitigating, said Cookson was extremely remorseful for his actions.
She said he was a long term user of heroin and crack cocaine and suffered from depression and paranoia.
Look at the ages of these people. This is not stuff 65 year olds and 47 years olds are normally doing.
This is another problem of England and is very much tied in with their allowing Muslims to take over.
England is in a perpetual state of adolescence.
The victim said she was ‘used to a punch or a slap’ but described the assault as the worst attack she had endured in 20 years of domestic violence.

Yet she stayed with him. Idiot.
