Deceased/Not Found Australia - Lynette Dawson, 34, Sydney, Jan 1982 *husband guilty* #5

[Witness 28]

I think it will be 5 years or less.
I hope I'm wrong.

I think you'll get life..... he has no remorse

I think you'll get life..... he has no remorse

He deserves to never be free again.
But I've seen so many cases where they just get a few years, so I'm trying not to get my hopes up.

I think you'll get life...

I'm not on trial

 

[TootsieFootsie]

I would like American system where the the death penalty for heinous crimes like this

No thankyou.

I think it will be 5 years or less.
I hope I'm wrong.

Oh, please be wrong.

 

[Cliff Hardy]

My money is on 20. Anything less than 15 will be a disgrace.

Technically 5 years could be life! Though that would be a horrible look for justice.
I would be satisfied with anything more than 12 years.

 

[TootsieFootsie]

Oh, please be wrong.

I was wrong about him being found guilty.

I thought he might have gotten away with it, so I hope I'm wrong about the sentence too.

 

[Morrisa]

No body, no parole...one can only hope.

 

[Trooper]

Today is the day. No guesses from me about the sentence, too many variables available for the judge to consider, either as a longer sentence or a shorter one.

What I hope is, life without parole, such as what is left of Chris Dawson's allotted time is spent behind bars, not because he is too weak and too old and ill, and has this problem , or that, and is a danger to the public.

It is his 50 years of freedom that is a danger, the idea that it can be gotten away with, and one can go on marrying, having more children, actually ADOPTING two children ( this staggers me that he entered into this arrangement ) marry again, continue a career, buy property, have family around.

That killing a wife, long ago, is forgivable and repentable.

It is not.

But.. we will see what comes down from the bench today.

 

[Cliff Hardy]

No body, no parole...one can only hope.

I think that is almost a given, in light of the recent changes to law in NSW.

I thought it was next Tuesday so I rearranged an appointment I had that day.

Then yesterday I put my name down for an impromptu Christmas lunch for today. This was before I found out that the sentencing was today and not next week like I thought.

I'm just going to have to cancel.

I don't want to miss his comeuppance.

Anyway I just rang a friend who is going to give my apologies. I can't miss this, have been waiting too long, but not as long as Lynette's family.

 

[they'll get you]

Sky news is saying his health will be taken into consideration.
What would they know?

Ivan Milat had cancer….let’s go.

 

[Cliff Hardy]

Would not be surprised if we see and hear a Christopher Skase like courtroom farce in an hours time.
