That's so true.I was thinking about Caroline today and in the current climate, her trial would have been completely swept under the carpet & no one would’ve really been paying attention to it anyway. Which makes it all the more sad

Not true. The case was at the beginning of the month before all the working from home and isolation started. Yes the press would have written about it but in the grand scheme of things no one would have given a tit as bigger things to worry aboutIt

No need to be sorry - We'll never know anywaySorry to disagree but the media circus would have been exactly the same. Only recently have the news channels been swamped with Covid 19 news and the courts have been closed for a while anyway. This was a major story for the tabloids. There is no way it would have been played down.
Not that it should have been. Domestic violence should never be swept under the carpet.Her court case would have been all forgotten about
Yeah well we’ll never know if it was domestic violence as it didn’t go to court? And her and her boyfriend both denied it. So give it a restNot that it should have been. Domestic violence should never be swept under the carpet.
There was however sufficient evidence for it to go to court. It’s VERY common for the victim to deny anything went on and it’s obvious why a perpetrator would deny it. I had videos, pictures and sound recordings of the abuse I endured but yet it wasn’t taken further because of so called ‘lack of evidence’... so there must’ve been some pretty damming evidence. Some of the comments I’ve read on social media throughout this whole thing such as ‘We’ve all made silly mistakes like that before’. No, we haven’t. It does a massive disservice to victims of domestic abuse and who, even after years after escaping the abuse, still face challenges and issues because of what they had to endure. It’s not something that should be forgotten about. It’s clear she had alcohol, drug and mental health issues so who’s to say she wouldn’t have killed herself regardless if there wasn't a media trial and wasn’t all over the press being bullied.Yeah well we’ll never know if it was domestic violence as it didn’t go to court?

exactly this. You are speaking my exact thoughts here.Having read multiple articles to the inquest today, as much as I feel sorry for Caroline (and no person should ever feel that tit about themselves that they are suicidal or unfortunately end their life), it was stated in the inquest and confirmed that Caroline did beat her ex boyfriend up and she did give him an injury to his head - whatever happened. If this were a man who was accused of DV, I guarantee things would play out much differently and we wouldn't have the constant "be kind" and outpouring of sympathies for Caroline. I feel awful for her family and friends and can't think what they may be going through and thinking, but to blame it all on the press and showbiz - Caroline must have known she had issues and could have tried to get them sorted with the money she had and knowing one day her actions could have catastrophic consequences like this incident. It is totally unfair to downplay her actions differently just because she ended her life and was a female. Domestic violence isn't okay what ever gender you are.
Her mother needs to STFU - she is embarrassing herself.It’s such a sad series of events. I really feel for her poor mother but I’m not sure her anger is directed at the right people, the police were just following their procedures, the CPS had enough evidence to prosecute so they did. It seems Caroline was in a dark place with her mental health and these events all proved too much. If it’s true that her boyfriend sent pictures of the scene to others , that is unforgivable.
