Ever since the old boy who killed the burglar threatening him and his disabled wife safety, anything goes when it comes to self defence.
I am thinking of those in jail for killing somebody through fights which got out of hand. |

My feelings are not that Challen was treated correctly and has now escaped true justice but that the thousands of others currently in prison should have had mitigating circumstances taken into account and less extreme sentences given. My hope is that her case will change the circumstances for hundreds of others - men AND women. |

I don't think the fact that domestic abuse against men is probably not yet taken as seriously as domestic abuse against women necessarily means that women are treated with special lenience by the justice system if they're considered to have committed manslaughter on the grounds of diminished responsibility rather than murder when, after years of being worn down mentally by incessant abuse, they act out of character and take drastic action to stop it once and for all.
While hailing the verdict as a “watershed”, David writes: “How has our mother’s case come to be so inaccurately portrayed by the criminal justice system? Why do we continue to label women who kill as jealous, cold murderers and refuse to explore evidence of abuse?”
He explains that his mother was only 15 when she met their father, who was 21. “At first he was charming, but gradually the abuse began,” David writes.
“He bullied and humiliated her, isolated her from her friends and family, controlled who she could socialise with, controlled her money, restricted her movement and created a culture of fear and dependency.
“Our father fed into our mother’s mind the abuse she was suffering over 40 years was normal.”
But this behaviour was not examined during the original trial, meaning, David writes, that for “almost a decade my brother James and I have been forced to accept a false narrative of our father’s death that depicted our mother as a controlling and jealous lover who planned to kill our father”.
Justice system smeared our mother, say Sally Challen’s sons
My mother, Sally Challen, was branded a cold-blooded killer. At last, she has justice
Thanks for the advice. Fully aware who died, don’t need reminding on that one. Don’t mean to be rude but I can and will bang on about it because I get messages from young people witnessing DV from parents and this will happen again. I’d have appreciated someone helping me.

Your lack of research is shocking. She did try leave him, repeatedly, she then did leave and then my father manipulated her further seeing how weak she was alone.

And this was before coercive control was a crime, so it is judging yesterday's morals by current standards. Again. |
