Greek lawyer faces backlash after court rules no violence
A female judge is facing a wave of public reactions following an appellate decision that found the prosecution had not proven superior force during her premature labor and subsequent absence from proceedings because she was giving birth at home with medical assistance present; while some media outlets highlight this as breaking judicial silence, others frame it within broader context regarding women in law enforcement.
Key Points
-
1A female lawyer faced public backlash and a storm of reactions after the court ruled against her request to be excused from duty due to an early morning birth.
-
2The judge explicitly denied that there was 'superior violence,' which appears central to why she could not attend work during labor. The ruling did recognize some form of force or emergency, but rejected it as superior enough for exemption.
