Am I the only one who thinks "remorse" as a factor in sentencing violent, calculating criminals like Hunter and Bayley is an exercise in the ridiculous?! Of course they're going to maintain how sorry they are for what they've done after the fact and feign a few tears with the knowledge that it could reduce their sentence by years providing some gullible judge swallows it.
The convicted killer who murdered Victorian woman Sarah Cafferkey has had his court hearing postponed while his defence waits for a report to establish his level of remorse.
Mr Marsh said the hearing could not proceed until the "presence and extent" of Hunter's remorse for his crime was established.
Justice Kevin Bell adjourned the hearing, which was to have been held on Wednesday, until August 12.

Hunter served a 13-year term for stabbing 18-year-old Moonee Ponds woman Jacqueline Mathews in 1986 after she rejected his advances
Finally, the drug connection is proven.

My last word on this: The ex-boyfriend is indirectly responsible for her death. He introduced them and I am willing to bet my last dollar he told Sarah that SH called her a junkie which led to the fatal argument. He was also calling her that when he was abusing her on facebook. I hope he knows that some of her blood is on his hands.
That's all.
Well it's not my last word, maybe this is...
Yes it is harsh, but he introduced her to drugs, he introduced her to Hunter, he tormented her (roof of family home, anyone?); he was the catalyst. You only have to look at his facebook profile to see the type of person he is (photos with ice pipes, druggie friends etc.) and then you wonder, if she hadn't lowered herself to this guy's standards, she'd still be here.
I hope this makes kids think twice about who they associate with. You lie down with dogs, you wake up with fleas or possibly not wake up at all.
I wonder why the first injury was from a hammer? People have them of course but the first tool of violence is odd. Mine is somewhere but if I had to defend myself it wouldn't be probable.
Media reports that she did not like being called a junkie. It does not mean she was for a fact. I have one push button and it is something that I am not and never will be. He pushed a button, she reacted and he reacted with a hammer.
