| 'Pelt wife beaters with rotten vegetables' says judge |
| 2009-12-23 |
| A BRITISH judge said today that men who beat women should be paraded through the streets so the public can pelt them with rotten vegetables. Judge Esmond Faulks called for the medieval punishment as he jailed a man who attacked his girlfriend so badly she later miscarried their baby. After seeing photographs of 19-year-old Andrew Harrison's assault on Lisa Dinsdale, 17, he said, "It's a pity a judge cannot order someone like this to have these pictures hung around his neck saying, 'I did this to my girlfriend,' and be paraded down the high street so people can throw rotten vegetables at him." Harrison admitted assault and was jailed for 18 months at Newcastle Crown Court in northern England. |
