But my understanding is that there was no evidence at all that the kids she fired the air rifle at were guilty of anti-social behaviour. Also, the police said that there was no evidence that she had suffered harrassment, which would imply that if she was on the receiving end she didn't report it.
And it wasn't on the spur of the moment; she actually phoned the police & said she would do it; that sounds like it was premeditated to me.
Having said that, it's difficult to see how the wider community will be best served by sending her to prison; as a special needs teacher she would have had a criminal records vet, so presumably has no or only insignificant previous record.
Perhaps there's more to this than is being reported ?
