See what we mean by “slippery slope”?
Speaking about a woman who was acquitted of the attempted murder of her very ill 31-year-old daughter, despite admitting to helping her commit suicide:
Last year, two judges questioned whether it was in the public interest to prosecute her for attempted murder, given that she had pleaded guilty to aiding and abetting suicide. One suggested the case be dropped rather than “let this defendant get tangled up in a messy trial for the sake of some legal mumbo jumbo”.
