I am not sure what to make of this case. If the case against her was proven, what value was there in legal assistance? Would it have changed the decision or not? If not then no harm has been done and I have some sympathy with the ex-magistrate's view expressed below.

If the case might turn on evidence or legal argument perhaps the case would have been adjourned. I wonder if she was her own worst enemy as we've all had potential clients who we wouldn't trust and don't take their cases on. I have several I wish I could get rid of. More details needed before we can properly pin thdown label of "victim" on. Maybe even medical help would be the key.

Maybe this lady (and being vulnerable etc I do have sympathy for her) would have been best served by library access to YouTube, or is that not in vogue now?
