Quite probably, nothing is ever clear cut.
The way I look at it, you have one person saying something on one side, and some other person saying something entirely difference on the other. The truth is always somewhere in the middle, but as to where it lies, its just experience reading between the lines.
Its improtant to know though, that anti-social crime is considered so minor that there probably wouldn't be much trace of it reported, unless the kids were arrested, which is rare...
Courts can't seem to condone the behavior, but throwing her in jail when there are so many more deserving people that should be there is wrong. She should have got a suspended sentence. A big slap on the wrist, but not THAT big.. The court accuses her of being disproportionate.
Also.. I am suprised she wasn't cleared under the new intrepretation of the laws which say if you feel threatened, you can respond in kind. Certainly a woman on her own versus some young strong trouble causing lads, should be plenty believeable that she was frightened?
