Westin has a problem

The ho is dead perchance from an OD?

Anyone have an update on AJW?

VP unfortunately most people do not ever get over their substance abuse issues. The most likely outcome is that she never will either.

We should spend a lot more on rehabilitation of anyone who shows any interest in getting off drugs. But it’s not a popular cause.

‘Scullin, is appealing against her imprisonment on the grounds the Magistrates Court’s sentence was excessive.’

maybe we could strap her into a car and let someone else drive into her at 100kmh while high on god knows what.

she wants fairness…

The Canberra Times had this:

Westin asks for jail release to get treatment for infection
1 September 2007

Jailed mother Amber Westin, who was locked up for seven months for killing an elderly woman in a car crash while evading police, and later breaching a good-behaviour order could become infertile if she did not receive treatment for an infection, a court was told yesterday.
Westin asked the ACT Supreme Court to release her on compassionate grounds so she could receive medical treatment she did not believe she could access in prison.
Westin, 22, of Scullin, is appealing against her imprisonment on the grounds the Magistrates Court’s sentence was excessive. After Chief Justice Terence Higgins had all but dismissed her appeal yesterday, she produced a medical examination report which said she was suffering from a cervical infection.
”I recently had a pap smear which showed I have an infection of the cervix, which will require a colposcopy,” she said.
”If it’s not addressed, it could wreck my long-term fertility.”
Westin said she was representing herself because she was refused legal aid.

She told Justice Higgins she did not think she would get the necessary treatment at the NSW prison where she was an inmate, in Berrima. The judge granted her leave to admit the medical report as evidence and adjourned proceedings for a fortnight to give her time to collect material to support her claim.
Westin said she asked her doctor to provide a letter for the court, but the doctor refused.
”She [the doctor] seems to think [the treatment] will happen in custody but I’ve been told otherwise because there is a shortage of staff.”

Another oxygen thief – a good example for making abortion retrospective. Unfortunately, as I have mentioned before, the raving mad ACT judges seem to be inclined to let the dangerous idiots out into the community at every opportunity … what a bunch of weirdos!

She is in prison, where she gets better medical care than 90% of the population. No medical bills, no gap payment. She probably gets better medical care than her kids currently do, and she wants to be released so she can get better medical care.

Bull. If she was not in prison, she would be seeing whatever doctor was available at the belco hospital.

“I hope her uterus turns black and falls out!”

Great mental image there. I choked on my coffee.

OK. I’ll play the naive person here.

AJW did some stupid and dangerous things, which have been recited ad nauseam, but she’s obviously got problems. At some point, it’s likely she’ll get over any substance issues. At that point, her reintegration into the normal world will likely be easier if she does not have health problems.

An increase in the possibility of fertility may be a good reason, even to one with a somewhat affected mind, for dealing with and ending the substance problems.

For me, the only question is whether there is any sensible way of having her serve her (remarkably lenient) sentence while getting treatment.

Wow, she might not be able to add anymore children to the unwanted, unloved welfare baby pool. That’s a real shame.

Plus 5 kids x $4000 = $20000 of potential income that the Govt might not allow her to have.

I hope her uterus turns black and falls out!
