Justice Refshauge sets Amber Westin free

I wonder how the family of the lady she killed feels about Refshauge. They must be very forgiving.

This is just my $0.02, but I’d feel a lot happier if this person was dead.

Hold up a moment, what’s this legal team she has? Is she so rich she can afford a legal team???

No no no – *we* (the taxpayer & ratepayer) are so rich we can afford to pay the fees for the recidivist scum’s legal “team”.

It’s nice to be rich, eh?

Ten bucks she’s in front of a beak inside 6 weeks.

Would you bother putting $10 on Black Caviar? If you want any sort of price, make it 6 days. Or 6 hours.

Well the magistrates stood up, once again the supreme court lets down the ACT community.

Im not sure that it happend like that JB. She got four months which says everything about her culpability in the first place. What good is to come of a four month sentence after she already had taken a life in a horror event. Make a bad event just a bit worse for what? What does the community get from it? Other than piece of mind for those wanting blood. That doesn’t cut it. Anyway the court hireichy is nothing new. Judges don’t feel the media or pressure thrown around them. I would probably throw the book at everyone if I were a Magi in court room one on a monday.

I wonder if they have taken into consideration the impact on the family of the woman she killed whilst on the run. I dont think the community at large would be too happy with this either.

I guess the message to the cmmunity is, you can pretty much get away with killing someone in this town, particularly if you are on the run. No doubt she would have played the ‘mother’ card in her defence.

This seems like a reasonable decision. We wouldn’t anything so radical as consequences to be put in place for those who habitually break the law.

On the plus side we have been given the opportunity to improve our word power with contumacious: Willfully disobedient to the summons or orders of a court.

Lol. I certainly had to look that one up.

This little cow is the scum of the earth. I have it on good authority (a friend who was visiting someone on the ward where AW was having the scratch on her knee treated after she ran a red without a licence and in doing so killed an innocent woman) that the little cow was yelling from her room “Who cares? She was a f#$%ing old bitch anyway”

I’m willing to bet she’ll be before the courts again soon enough. Hopefully the magistrate will grow a pair and justice will be served before she kills another innocent person. She obviously doesn’t give a crap, why would she ever change?

David Opas and Ray Watson. Sometimes victims or friends/relatives of victims of crime aren’t satisfied with the sentences given to criminals.
