He stabbed the peer, the student: I'm too smart to be imprisoned

A few months ago, a 24-year-old, under the influence of cocaine and alcohol, stabbed Thomas Fyrclough, a peer who had met him on the social network “Tynder”.

But a British judge has spared Lavinia Woodward prison, a decision that has triggered numerous reactions to local public opinion.

International media write that during the trial process, the 24-year-old accepted the non-involuntarily “crime”. She even asked the judge to have mercy on him after a prison sentence would disrupt her dream of becoming a surgeon.

To convince the judge, Woodward presented in the process the evaluations received by her professors as an excellent student and prayed that they would allow her to continue her studies.

The judge accepted the 24-year-old request, thus avoiding prison, a decision that sparked the reaction of many activists attending the process. According to them, this decision openly shows the double standards of British justice, since for the same crime others have been sentenced to prison.
