女學霸酗酒後刺傷男友 可因職業前途從輕處理?
An "extraordinary" Oxford University student who stabbed her ex-boyfriend in the leg may avoid jail as it would affect her career prospects, a judge has said.
一名法官日前表示，一位刺傷前男友的牛津大學女學霸可能會被從輕處理免除牢獄之災，因爲這會影響她的前程。Lavinia Woodward, 24, attacked the man at Christ Church college, while she was under the influence of drink and drugs. She admitted inflicting grievous body harm, the Oxford Mail reported.
24歲的拉維尼亞·伍德沃德在酒精和毒品的影響下，在基督教會學院襲擊了她的前男友。據《牛津郵報》報道，她承認對前男友造成了嚴重的身體傷害。At Oxford Crown Court, Judge Ian Pringle said he believed the attack was "a complete one-off".
牛津皇冠法院的法官伊恩·普林格表示，他認爲這次襲擊只是'一次性事件'。
"To prevent this extraordinary, able young lady from following her long-held desire to enter the profession she wishes to, would be a sentence which would be too severe," he said. "What you did will never, I know, leave you, but it was pretty awful, and normally it would attract a custodial sentence."
他說道：“爲了不讓這位年輕有爲的女士無法進入她長久以來渴望的職業，判處這樣的刑法對她來說太重了。你所做的一切真的很糟糕，通常都會被判處監禁。”
Medical student Woodward met the Cambridge University student on dating app Tinder, the court heard. During the attack at the college, she thumped him, lunged at him with a bread knife, and stabbed him in the leg.
法院方面稱，醫科學生伍德沃德通過約會軟件Tinder約見了這名劍橋大學的學生。在這次大學襲擊案中，她拿着麪包刀向他衝了過去，刺傷了他的腿。She also threw a laptop, glass, and jam jar at him before stabbing herself, the court heard.
在刺傷對方之前，她還向他扔電腦、玻璃杯和果醬罐。Francis FitzGibbon, the chair of the Criminal Bar Association, told the BBC's Today programme the case was "unusual".
刑事律師協會主席弗朗西斯·菲茨吉本在BBC的採訪中表示，這起案件很不尋常。"The judge must take into account determination or demonstration of steps to address addiction, so it sounds as though he's giving her a chance and I think the judge would do that for anyone wherever they came from in the right circumstances."
“法官必須考慮到戒毒所需的決心和步驟，這似乎看起來像是法官對她的寬大處理，但是我認爲法官是秉公處理的。”"I don't know if her future prospects are the critical factor in this. Maybe if she does really badly on her drug rehabilitation he'll think again."
“我不知到她的前程是否是這次判決的關鍵因素。如果她在戒毒方面表現得差強人意，法官會重新考慮的。”
