If the shoe was on the other foot and this was the more typical case of a male killing his female partner then it would certainly not have been framed more differently.
Victim shaming throughout the entire episode, never would this have been possible if the perpetrator was male and the victim female.
All along when listening to family and friends and supporters I was saying outloud "deluded". How they expected what was very obviously a murder to be squashed was just stretching reality.. until, it actually happened and Fri's murder gets overturned, without as much as a retrial.
Utterly flabaghasted and genuinely intensely sceptical of the British justice system at this point.
If roles had been reversed and the male had come home at 5am having been out drinking, got into an argument with his girlfriend, shook off a relatively minor attack which caused such insignificant injuries they didn't feature in the trial, then took out a knife and stabbed her to death, then proceeded to lie that someone else had done the stabbing and attempted to hide the knife then HE would be getting life with 20-30 years for killing HER and no one would bat an eyelid.
Not 13 years then get out of jail after 7 because he claims he was victim of an abusive relationship. Unthinkable.
This is equality in reverse. Very very worrying that a female can take a man's life and literally get away with murder because she retrospectively claims domestic abuse. Something is very wrong with this and needs to change.
