      How in the f did she get away with that – did the police do a terrible job or pick the wrong offences

      “Prosecutors failed to prove beyond reasonable doubt her actions had resulted in harm to her friend.”

      … She got pregnant… And miscarriaged… How the actual fuck is that not resulting in harm?

      For the people reading this who didn’t read the article, she was found not guilty because the prosecution wasn’t able to prove that the condoms she poked holes in were actually used by the couple (the defendant claims she threw the tampered ones out later, take from that what you will).

      I’m seeing a lot of people asking why such tempering isn’t considered bodily harm and the answer is…it is.

      This women clearly needs help, her logic is she was sick of the new boyfriend always being around…so to fix it she thought she would tie them together for life by ruining their birth control??

      She should be doing jail.

      Ah, the sexual double standard in our courts. If a man had done that, he’d be in jail (and rightly so).

      But a jealous woman who can lie really well under oath? “Oh I’m sure she didn’t poke holes in that specific one – that specific one must have been another cause. She just damaged all the others.”

      >The housemate then saw a text exchange between Ms Edwards and a former partner … “I poked holes in half their condoms,” the text read. “Gotta put those pregnancy tests to use somehow.”

      > [The defense] said that hole could have been something else. “Was it a cat’s claw or a pin prick?” he proposed to the jury in his closing statement.

      What on earth did the prosecutor do to mess this up?

      What a disaster of a situation.

      Tangentially related for everyone, always (gently) squeeze the little package to check it is still air tight before opening.

      Not out of fear of some psychotic condom-stabber, but because if the packaging has failed (for any reason) you should discard and use a different condom. Exposure to air can lead to things drying out, and substantially increases the likelihood of mechanical failure during use.

      Also if it’s expired chuck it out. Just because an expired one is still air tight doesn’t mean you should use it.

      Putting aside the absolutely psychotic behaviour, she did this because she was jealous of her housemate’s new relationship and annoyed that the partner was staying over?

      And she thought a *baby* was the solution to this?

      Dumber than fuck.

      “….faced a trial in Bunbury District Court this week, where she chose not to give evidence.”

      🤣 her lawyer wouldn’t let her give evidence, I wonder why…. 🤔

      This does seem like a very Bunbury-esque story.
