Lecturer stabbed love rival in arthouse cinema toilets

A media lecturer who stabbed a love rival in the face and neck with a wine glass has what Judge Desmond Hogan called the dark cloud of a custodial sentence looming over her.

Melanie Adams, who teaches Film and Television at the Ballyfermot College of Higher Education, had her sentence adjourned to February 5, 2004, to allow her raise "an acceptable level of compensation."
