Standing trial together with her estranged husband for a crime she admits actual guilt for, yet not criminal guilt, her brief is advancing the little l known, archly sexist and archaic Marital coercion defence.
| “ | Any presumption of law that an offence committed by a wife in the presence of her husband is committed under the coercion of the husband is hereby abolished, but on a charge against a wife for any offence other than treason or murder it shall be a good defence to prove that the offence was committed in the presence of, and under the coercion of, the husband. | ” |
Hell hath no fury like a scorned woman carrying someone else's penalty points.
If she gets off, that's one more blow to solidarity and sisterhood globally. Just another nail in the coffin of post-feminism.
From hell's heart, I stab at thee...
