The boyfriend of a woman who urinated on a war memorial has sparked further anger after giving a Nazi salute as she walked free from court.
Wendy Lewis was labelled Britain's 'most disgusting woman' by veterans after CCTV footage caught her urinating on the cenotaph at Blackpool. Lewis, 32, was originally due to be sentenced last week but fled after being confronted by a group of ex-servicemen who vented their anger by slow-handclapping and shouting 'disgusting.'
After three days at large, police arrested Lewis on Tuesday morning and she was finally hauled before magistrates.
And after she escaped jail Lewis's boyfriend Frank McKenzie managed to further offend the former soldiers by performing a Nazi salute and yelling pro-IRA abuse at them. Sentencing Lewis at Blackpool Magistrates' Court to 15 weeks' jail, suspended for a year, deputy district judge Roger Lowe told her that he had spared her custody to allow her to get help for her drink and drug problems.
The veterans attended court again yesterday to see the mother-of-two brought to justice. Lewis, of Princess Street, Blackpool, faced further disgrace. The former heroin addict, who was found guilty of outraging public decency at an earlier hearing, also pleaded guilty to assaulting the female police officer who arrested her. Lewis hurled abuse at Pc Emma Halliwell and kicked her twice, striking the officer's shin and her thigh.
The judge told her: 'You are a young woman. You don't remember the First World War and the Second World War. There are people in this room who do. 'You have got the right to do whatever you want, think whatever you want and say whatever you want. Those rights were won by people who fought for us and died for us. 'The memorial in this town remembers the people who gave their lives for values which we hold so dear. 'When you urinated on the memorial you desecrated on their memory. You brought shame on yourself and you brought shame on the town.'
Lewis, wearing a pink hooded top and white jacket, nodded as she was sentenced to 12 weeks for outraging public decency. A three-week sentence for the assault of Pc Halliwell was suspended for 12 months. She was also ordered to complete a drug rehabilitation programme and pay £200 in costs and £50 in compensation to Pc Halliwell. The court was told that Pc Halliwell was attacked by Lewis after she and a colleague tracked her down at a friend's home. Pam Smith, prosecuting, said: 'The defendant was being aggressive and she kicked out, striking Pc Halliwell suddenly in the leg. 'She was calmed down for a period but later became abusive in custody.
In mitigation, Mr Allan Cobain said Lewis would forever be known as 'that woman from the Cenotaph'. He described the incident as 'beyond the pale', but said it was the result of a 'severe' drink and drug problem. 'Wendy Lewis could be viewed as a tragic figure who has to be pitied as much as pilloried, he added. 'With help, she may be able to get her life back on track.'
Lewis was dubbed 'Britain's most disgusting person' by Ian Coleman, who has been president of the Blackpool Royal British Legion for 24 years, after her court appearance on Friday. 'This woman is the most disgusting person in the country,' he said. 'The names on the cenotaph are those of people that have given us all our freedom.' After yesterday's sentencing, Mr Coleman said: 'War memorials up and down the country are being desecrated. It seems the perpetrators just get a slap on the wrist and possibly stronger laws have to be implemented to have a deterrent to stop these people defiling this sacred ground.'
He suggested those who disrespect war memorials should be made to clean them up and added: "I wouldn't want to see anybody put in prison. But that memorial is sacrosanct and we do need a deterrent.'

A former partner at a well-known law firm and his marketing consultant wife were arrested Wednesday on felony charges of bilking the San Francisco school district and private insurers out of about $400,000 via fraudulent bills for treatment of their autistic son, officials say.
The San Francisco couple, Jonathan S. Dickstein and Barclay J. Lynn, both 43, surrendered Wednesday and are expected to appear in court this morning for arraignment on 30 counts of fraud, theft and conspiracy, authorities say.
They were briefly jailed Wednesday on $100,000 bail each but were released on bond.
"This was an elaborate scheme to defraud the school district and insurance companies out of a lot of money," said Chief Assistant District Attorney David Pfeifer. "They used this scheme to make money off their child's special needs - that's terrible."
Until this year, Dickstein, who graduated from Stanford and then Harvard Law School, was a partner at the internationally recognized San Francisco firm of Morrison & Foerster, specializing in intellectual property issues and the law surrounding life sciences. He has since started his own practice, according to his Facebook page.
He and his wife had arranged for the home care of their young son through another school district before transferring to the San Francisco school district. Under state guidelines, school districts are obligated to provide or compensate parents for home education of autistic or other severely disabled children.
By law, parents are required to use licensed private educational providers to develop individual treatment plans that meet state guidelines for their disabled children.
Dickstein and Lynn had employed such a private provider, but in 2006, they created their own: Puzzle Pieces. Prosecutors said it was actually a dummy company that was not licensed to develop autism education.
"Puzzle Pieces" indeed...

Re: UK's most vile couple
Most vile couple in the UK?
Tough to beat these two:
(Warning: just reading this will make you want to take a long hot shower, especially if you're not familiar with the case.)
Frederick Walter Stephen 'Fred' West (29 September 1941 – 1 January 1995), was an English serial killer.
Between 1967 and 1987, he and his wife Rosemary tortured, raped and murdered at least 12 young women and girls, many at the couple's homes. The majority of the murders occurred between May 1973 and September 1979 at their home in Gloucester.
Rosemary West also murdered Fred's stepdaughter (his first wife's biological daughter) Charmaine, while he was serving a prison sentence for theft.
It is believed that Rosemary killed Charmaine (Fred's stepdaughter from his first marriage) shortly before West's release in June 1971. According to Anne Marie, both sisters were subject to frequent beatings, but Charmaine infuriated Rosemary by her refusal to cry no matter how severe they got. Charmaine disappeared in mid June, with Rosemary explaining Costello had called and taken her back to Scotland. Costello turned up in late August to collect Charmaine, and also disappeared.
On 29 January 1972, Fred and Rosemary West married in Gloucester, and on 1 June of that year, Rosemary gave birth to their second daughter, Mae. Around this time West encouraged his wife into prostitution. Rosemary eventually had seven children, of which three were mixed race. Needing a bigger house, the family moved to 25 Cromwell St, where West converted the upper floor to bedsits. "Rose's Room", the room Rosemary used for prostitution had peepholes so he could watch and a red light outside the door for warning the children not to enter when she was "busy". Like West, Rosemary came from a family where incest was common; Rosemary's father, Bill Letts, with Fred's approval, would often visit their home to have sex with Rosemary.[6]
In October 1972 the Wests hired 17-year-old Caroline Roberts as the children's nanny. She rejected Fred and Rosemary's advances into their "sex-circle" and left a few weeks later.[7] On 6 December 1972 the Wests invited her to their home, where they both raped her. Fred allowed Roberts to leave the next day only after she promised she would return as their nanny. Roberts reported the rape to police but withdrew the accusation when the case came to court. The Wests pleaded guilty to a reduced charge of indecent assault and were fined £50.[8]
In early 1973, the Wests took eight-year-old Anne Marie to the cellar, where they bound and gagged her before West raped her while Rosemary watched.[9]
In 1979 Anne Marie became pregnant by West, but the pregnancy was terminated as it was ectopic. Unable to cope with her father any longer, she left home; West now began abusing Heather, who disappeared a few years later.
[edit] Investigation, arrest and conviction
In May 1992, West filmed himself raping one of his other daughters, and twice again afterwards. She told friends at school what had happened. On 4 August one of the friends told her mother and she went to the police. On 6 August 1992, the police decided to investigate, eventually leading to West being charged, with Rosemary as an accomplice, with rape. She was also charged with child cruelty and the remaining children were placed in foster care. The rape case against the Wests collapsed when the two main witnesses declined to testify at the court case on 7 June 1993. However, the police continued investigating the disappearance of their daughter Heather. After taking statements from social workers about the joke about "Heather being buried under the patio" and the children themselves, they obtained a further search warrant in February 1994, allowing them to excavate the garden in search of Heather. They started searching the house and excavating the garden on 24 February 1994.
After West's arrest the following day, the police uncovered human bones.[10] He confessed, retracted and then re-confessed to the murder of his daughter, denying that Rosemary was involved. Rosemary was not arrested until April 1994, initially on sex offences but later charged with murder. Further bodies were found and, on 4 March 1994, West admitted that he had carried out nine more murders, including those of his first wife and Ann McFall.[/quote]

Re: UK's most vile couple
What a pair. I'm gald to see that Rosemary is in jail for life; but who knows if someone would buy the Hedda Nusbaum defense (I was also abused by him and under his poweer) defense to let her off lightly. Karla Homlka (of the "Ken and Barbie killers") bamboozled the prosecution the sem way when she was tried for mulitple murders.

If I'm not mistaken, that sociopath, (who facilitated the murder of her own sister right before her marriage) has either been released, or is due to be released soon....Karla Homlka (of the "Ken and Barbie killers") bamboozled the prosecution the sem way when she was tried for mulitple murders.

Re: UK's most vile couple
Well since one of the victims was her won sister, Tammy, and (for whatever reason) her family chose to stand by her, I imagine she sees such relatives on a regualr basis. It's a strange case, expecially since there are (or were, I think canada destroyed all of them) vdeo tapes showing her and her husband sexually absuing a drugged Tammy prior to her "accidental" death.
