In one of the day’s most disturbing stories, a man who kicked in a door to assault his former partner, then smashed her phone when she tried to call for help, escaped conviction on a serious charge thanks to a legal loophole. The case has exposed a gap in the law that allowed the offender to avoid the weight of the justice system despite what was, by any measure, a terrifying act of domestic violence. It is the kind of story that demands legislative action — and fast.
