"Later in court, Joshua admitted to choking Sarah and holding the pillow over her face. But he denied raping Sarah and claimed he thought she would enjoy being choked and smothered."When talking about strangulation, the event doesn't have to be fatal. You don't need to say 'attempted' strangulation. If someone puts their hands around someone's neck, or uses an object (ligature), or holds a victim and survivor in a way that means they cannot breathe, you can say they have been strangled. Words like 'attempted' distract from the gravity of what has occurred. www.news.com.au/lifestyle/real-life/news-life/every-parents-nightmare-horrific-conversation-no-mo...#strangulation #legal #smothering #choking ...
