It is so good the Supreme Court ruled the woman is innocent. It is bad the prosecutors demanded 8 years and appealed previous rulings again and again. Prosecutor`s job is one of the nastiest I can ever think of. They are sick people of hyena nature.
Never mind, here is the story.
On Wednesday, the Supreme Court upheld the acquittal of 38-year-old Karolina P., who, in defense against rape by her drunken husband, killed him with a knife in the chest. The Supreme Court emphasized the essence of self-defense. The prosecutor's office demanded 8 years of imprisonment for the woman.
In justifying this decision, Judge Ryszard Witkowski emphasized that the court did not find any gross violations of the law in the decision of the court of appeal that would allow it to be challenged. The judge pointed out that the cassation allegation boils down to a different assessment of the same evidence and undermining the assessment of the credibility of the main evidence, i.e. the explanations of the accused. "Neither a different assessment nor undermining the credibility of the evidence is a sufficient basis for changing or repealing the judgment," stressed the judge.
Attorney Katarzyna Król, who defended the accused, expressed her satisfaction with the decision of the Supreme Court on Wednesday. - I believe that this is the most accurate decision of the Supreme Court. The decisions of previous instances are interesting, because these courts have established that a woman's sexual freedom is a good more important than the life of the attacker who attacked her, she said in an interview with the Polish Press Agency and Polish Radio.
The lawyer added that her client has already managed to return to normal life, among others. due to the fact that the district court released her from custody early.
On that day, Marcin P. returned home drunk and demanded sexual intercourse from his wife. As it was reported during the trial, similar situations had already occurred in which Marcin P. brutally forced a woman to have sex.
The couple's two young children were in the house. Karolina P. ran away to the balcony. She tried to call for help by calling a neighbor. The man was slapping his wife. The latter, defending herself, stabbed him in the shoulder with a knife, which she grabbed during the struggle. Drunk Marcin P. did not react. The woman hit him again, this time in the chest. After this hit, the attacker fell. Karolina P. called the emergency services. However, the doctors were unable to save the man's life.
