No, if she had stabbed him 20 times, that would be different.

Foster, who had denied attempted murder, claimed that she had no recollection of the attack.

How does this:

By the jury's verdict it is plain that you did not take the knife with you to attack Julie Simpson.

Square with this:

Before leaving home, she had wrapped a kitchen knife in tissue paper and put it in her handbag.

Name an innocent reason one carries a butcher knife wrapped in Kleenex in one's handbag?

[Cicero]

Killing your spouse's lover "in the heat of passion" used to be a mitigating circumstance. But despite her assertion that she brought a kitchen knife with her to kill herself, I find it very difficult to believe that this was not a premeditated killing.

Contrast this with the farmer who defended his home by shooting a burglar who threatened his life, and was given a sentence of life in prison for it.

Justice in England is very badly distorted.

that Foster, who until her retirement was chief podiatrist at King's College Hospital,

Hell hath no fury like a scorned foot doctor. It's interesting that about the only place she didn't stab that woman was on her tootsies.

"There are many victims, not just Julie Simpson.."

How twue, how wery twue. It's just that Ms. Simpson is the one who was left with a punctured lung, blind in one eye and disfigured for life. I'll bet anything that Ms. Simpson would trade 30 months of her life to get back her complete eye sight and unscarred face and body. Instead of 2 l/2 years in prison like Dr. Foster, she's got a life-long sentence now.

It's right that I should talk to her privately before making any decisions about the future."

That's right, take her into the kitchen and have a nice long talk with her, not that she'll remember it later.

Unbelievable. Simply unbelievable.

[ahayes]

Gee, she's lucky she stabbed somebody with it or she would have been thrown in jail for ten years for carrying a pointy knife.
