Moonbat Judge Imposes Anarchy in the UK
Posted on January 14, 2009
No good deed goes unpunished — and under a legal system run by moonbats, neither does good character:
A yob accused of robbing a driving instructor walked free from court — after a judge ruled that the victim was too believable as a witness.
Judge Jamie Tabor praised Denise Dawson as ‘honest, utterly decent and brave’ when she identified a man as her alleged attacker and gave evidence against him.
But moments later he halted the trial and ordered a not guilty verdict on Liam Perks, 20.
The judge said Mrs Dawson’s good character and compelling evidence could sway the jury, even though she had had only a fleeting glimpse of her attacker.
He said: ‘Denise Dawson was a particularly impressive witness because she showed courage, clarity of thought and was undoubtedly honest. The jury may lend more weight to her evidence than the facts allow. You cannot be sure she got it right.’
Dawson, a 36-year-old mother of two, called the outrage a “kick in the teeth”:
I was absolutely terrified after I heard he had pleaded not guilty and I would have to go to court to testify. I felt sick when the trial collapsed. What more can I do? I positively identified someone from a video ID parade and was prepared to risk everything going to court, but it’s still not enough.
It’s no fun being on the side of the angels when the devils are in charge.

Did I read this right? Is the judge not basically giving affirmative action points to the suspect because his victim has too much courage, honesty, and clarity of thought? It sounds to me like this judge thinks her job is to level the playing field so that criminals are not handicapped by their poor character and honesty becomes its own reward. When the judges are uncivilized what chance do we have.
Can you see the buzzards circling?
That’s one of the most pathetic things I’ve ever read. If she hadn’t been believable enough, this little sleaze would have gotten off, too.
Just when you thought it couldn’t get any worse, it does.

Are you sure this isn’t a skit for a new version of Monty Python?!
