Darryl Posted February 25, 2021 Share Posted February 25, 2021 The woman who blackmailed a couple while they cradled their dying baby daughter remains in prison and will not get a reduction in jail time after losing an appeal against her sentence. https://www.theage.com.au/national/victoria/woman-jailed-for-blackmailing-grieving-parents-loses-appeal-20210225-p575vi.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bornagirl Posted February 25, 2021 Share Posted February 25, 2021 Yep, glad she didn't get a reduction. The impact of a crime on a victim is, as I understand it, a valid part of sentencing considerations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pooks Posted February 25, 2021 Share Posted February 25, 2021 What a piece of shit that woman was. I felt terrible at the time because I had shared the family’s appeal for the return of the phone on social media, without considering the possibility of blackmail.

blueshoe Posted February 25, 2021 Share Posted February 25, 2021 I read that article a while ago and nearly started a thread here to express my disgust at what a revolting excuse for a human being she was (but didn’t because I wasn’t sure if we were allowed to discuss the case).So glad she doesn’t get a reduction and that they threw the book at her.

Ernegirl Posted February 25, 2021 Share Posted February 25, 2021 I couldn't fathom it because she was herself a parent. Unbelievable cruelty.I really really wish the phone would rematerialise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lazycritter Posted February 25, 2021 Share Posted February 25, 2021 I have no sympathy for her at all. I do wish rape and sexual assault got the same moral outrage from a judge though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darryl Posted February 25, 2021 Author Share Posted February 25, 2021 I do wish rape and sexual assault got the same moral outrage from a judge though.

acidulous osprey Posted February 25, 2021 Share Posted February 25, 2021 The parents said in an article on the ABC that it distresses them that this waste of skin (paraphrasing here) is getting attention and they are worried their baby will be forgotten and her name forgotten. Her name is Amiyah and she was beautiful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
