Lavinia Woodward is too talented to go to prison for assaulting her boyfriend.

Woodward had met a young Cambridge graduate on an online dating site. During a drink and drug-fuelled row last September, she punched him and swiped at him with a bread knife, stabbed him in the leg then hurled a laptop at him, followed by a glass and a jam jar.

In Oxford, one 'revelation' has been greeted with incredulity: the suggestion that the offence which landed her in court was 'a one-off'. Woodward may not have previous convictions for violence, but she has been involved in a string of disturbing incidents at university.

One female contemporary, in the same accommodation block, asked to be moved after Woodward physically assaulted her in the street for no other reason, it seems, than she saw her chatting to an ex-boyfriend.

Another (male) student reported Woodward to the police after she made violent threats against him when he tried to help her overcome her cocaine problem.

Others said they felt intimidated by unsavoury characters who visited Woodward at her rooms at Christ Church and were suspected of keeping her supplied with drugs. Students we spoke to this week asked not to be identified because they were concerned for their safety if Woodward did resume her studies at Oxford — which, in itself, is revealing.

Maybe he looked her up on facebook and saw that picture of her scrubbing the boat. 60 second later, he thought she deserved a little leniency.
 
Wow. Just, wow.
 
Assault with a deadly weapon, attempted murder, first degree assault.
And this moron lets her walk? Wth.

Again I never want to be convicted of anything short of murder.
