Today, we are aghast at the story of the 65 year old woman who found herself in front of the beak at Dundee Sheriff Court on a charge of 'assaulting' her husband and striking him on the head with a paper magazine over a row as to what to watch on the telly!! Four police officers attended the house - and the poor lady spent two nights in police cells prior to her court appearance!!
Needless to say, she was admonished. A Crown Office spokesman said afterwards 'domestic abuse is never trivial and our prosecutors take it extremely seriously - there is no place for it and no excuse for it'.
Should we not be inordinately proud of the madmen in charge of the police - and also the madmen in charge of our prosecution system?
