Jade Goody Hammer Attack in the Hospital

Jade Goody (27), who is terminally ill with cancer, was shocked on Sunday afternoon when a female intruder wielding a hammer confronted the her in her hospital room in London’s Royal Marsden hospital.

Jack Tweed, Jade’s new husband, had just taken a break from sitting with her when the woman with the hammer entered Jade’s room. The woman was later arrested, then released "on the advice of lawyers." Huh? Why?

Jade and her sons had just been baptized the day before.

A Metropolitan Police spokesman said:

"Police were called on Sunday and arrested a woman in possession of an offensive weapon. She was taken into custody at a west London police station. Following the advice of Crown Prosecution Service the 41-year-old woman was release with no further action."

Offensive weapon? How about lethal weapon. Was it a real hammer or a toy? Why did they let the woman go without getting a psychiatric evaluation first?

After the hammer incident Jade received a call from Michael Jackson, but she missed it because she was sleeping. Jade’s rep said:

"He called [Michael Jackson] to say I’m thinking of you. Jermaine’s told me all about you, and you are all over the media in America.’"

"He said he hoped she could come and see the show while he is London. It was lovely. She said to me, ’Who would have thought it?’ But I told her you have started to realize, Jade, it’s gone all over the world. It was great for her spirits."

Despite all the incredible difficulty terminal illness brings, Jade has shown she has real courage, and is setting a great example for her sons, plus making some money so they will be cared for when she is gone.
