Oxford student who stabbed boyfriend could be spared jail 'because of her extraordinary talent'

Ah, this is gonna be fun. A perfect case of pot calling the kettle black!

At 17x he would be dead. "The woman's blood-alcohol was more than .24, or three times the legal limit. Turner's blood-alcohol content was .17, or more than twice the legal limit of .08."

First of all, Brock and the victim were both tested at 1am. Brock was measured as .17 at the time, and his victim was measured at .12. The .22 number making the rounds on the internet was an ESTIMATE of how intoxicated she was at the time of the "assault" considering that it had metabolized significantly over 6 hours. If the victim's estimate is at .22 then Brock would most likely have been .27 at the time of the "assault."

Tested some time after his arrest, Turner's blood alcohol content was estimated to have been 0.171% at 1 a.m.[3][48] He testified that he did remember what happened that night.[7]

Jane Doe's blood alcohol concentration was measured in a hospital several hours after the assault at 0.12%, and doctors estimated her intoxication level at 1 a.m., the estimated time of the assault, to have been around 0.22%,[48][49] or 0.242-0.249%.[

1 a.m

Notice a pattern? They were tested at 1am, several hours AFTER the assault.

and doctors estimated her intoxication level at 1 a.m., the estimated time of the assault, to have been around 0.22%,[48][49] or 0.242-0.249%.

That .22 number was an ESTIMATE not what was measured at the time of her test. Seriously, pot calling the kettle black!

No. She was in an alcoholic coma. Not asleep, because a sleeping person can be woken. The cop who first found her stayed with her, trying every 15 minutes to wake her. After 4.5 hours of trying, he was able to wake her. This level of intoxication is consistent with her BAC.

I have no idea what the hell you're talking about. Let's refer to a reputable source -- Wikipedia. Don't worry, I checked the citations and they are DIRECTLY from the testimony.

Doe reported that her last memory was around midnight,[3] and made telephone calls to friends shortly after that.[3] A responding paramedic said she did not respond to a "shake and shout" test,[3] but that she opened her eyes when he pinched her nail beds.[3] When Doe vomited on the scene before being taken away by ambulances, she was able to cough and spit out the vomit on her own without assistance.[3] In a January 19 report, the paramedic rated her as 11 out of 15 on the Glasgow Coma Scale.[3]

She was not comatose. Period. Take a gander at how the Glasgow Coma Scale works because I have a feeling that you only get information spoon fed to you by your media outlets of choice. Hint: Any media outlet is not a place to form your opinions. Read the testimonies themselves, acquaint yourself with the cold and hard facts and form your opinions based on them.

In any case, I have blacked out a few times in my life. Almost every time my friends expressed shock the following day, "You seemed so normal!"

One time my sister and I had been drinking all night long when she suddenly changed into her PJs, got into bed, and yelled at me to leave her room. The next day she expressed immense shock and apologized profusely. "I don't even remember doing that at all!" she remarked. My sister has also admitted that she blacked out a few times with her boyfriend, and that they would have sex sometimes without her recollection whatsoever.

That is BECAUSE many people don't just pass out upon blacking out! Some of them act absolutely coherent, and even if she wasn't acting all "there" Brock was much more drunk than his victim so he might not have understood what was going on. You're the worst kind of redditor: Getting your information from biased media outlets, berating people for using actual facts straight from the source.

I hope you learned from this, and grow the fuck up. Get your information from unbiased sources like Wikipedia, and make sure that you check all the citations.
