Ms White certainly didn't look immature and at 18, you are an adult, with the responsibility that comes with that. Justice these days is a joke. The criminals have more excuses made for them than anything, and seem to have more ' rights' than the victims.

shock why wasn't she sent to the appropriate institution for her age rather than being set free?

The law certainly can be an ass can't it.

Borstal. Get her locked up. She's in desperate need of retraining to have some respect for authority.

A ladette lout who spat in a policeman's face during a national lockdown as she was being arrested for robbery has walked free from court after a judge said she was too 'young and immature' to go to prison.

Shanae White, then 18, deliberately lowered her facemask and hurled saliva onto the forehead and cheek of Sgt Matt Black at the height of the pandemic as he was escorting her to a cell.
