Notice the poor woman is alone, she has nobody to accompany her to court. Tragic.

I wish I was there to support the woman, I'd put my arm around her and walk with her.

There should be no trail for the two in question, just get rid of them, permanently.

They're not fit to ever see the world again, and tax-payers deserve better than to see their monies go to support scum like this until their dying day.
