18 years? She killed three little kids. Should be rotting in a cell forever. Appeal is a joke.
Another appeal? Just more taxpayer money down the drain. She admitted it ffs.
I get wanting to appeal but honestly, the evidence was pretty clear. Waste of time.
Her mental state at the time is relevant though. Postpartum psychosis is real. Not defending her but the system needs to look at that.
mate, mental health is an explanation not an excuse. She knew what she did.
Yeah nah, mental health doesn't excuse murdering your own kids. Lock her up and throw away the key.

I'm not excusing her, just saying the justice system should consider all factors. But yeah, it's a tough one.
100% this. Kids don't get a second chance do they?
So what's the appeal based on? Anyone know? Or is it just the usual 'unfair trial' cry?
point. But 18 years already seems light for triple murder, appeal is a stretch.
She'll probably win the appeal and get out early. That's how it works in NZ.
Wonder what the family of the victims think. They must be shattered having to relive this.
Exactly. Let the courts handle it, but don't drag the family through more pain.
